The trouble is that they scroll and not very efficiently at that (the
messages seem to be fixed length so a short message leaves the display
blank for a significant period) and you have to stand and wait for the
message to come round before you can tell what it is.

Maybe it should display "Not Reserved" (without needing to scroll the
useless "This seat is " part of the message), or "From ... " up to the
start of the reservation, then "Until ...." and the name (alternating
rather than scrolling) while the seat has a reservation).
