Travel Live departures and tables (Andrew Brandwood)

Hi all,

I am currently working on a large rail network provider's group of websites. I am interested in opinion on how best to mark up the HTML for assistive technologies for live departures and arivals.

I have seen many different methods, but none are conclusive. If anyone as any feedback on what works best or is the worst experience you have encountered I would much appreciate any input.

Currently I am considering one of the following

A.) Table
B.) Ordered list
C.) A combination of the two. A list with a table nested.

In the table would be headings of arrival time, destination, platform, further details.

Any help on best practice or things to avoid in this instance would be much appreciated.

Kind regards
Andrew
