If any on-train information system
crashes just after the last piece of locational information it
receives, whether from GPS or anything else, is anyone going to bother
about it or warn the passengers?


Depends if the staff are even aware! Again talking about 170s, it's
not at all unusual for the drivers display to show correct data whilst
all displays bar those in the front coach show something else
entirely.
