Headless program startup issue (service) still cannot find what causes auto start up to fail
I am trying to run a departure board python3 prog by Jonathan Foot.
I have been fiddeling with this over the last weeks, tried to understand the boot.pdf Beginners Guide to running a Program at startup but am still none the wiser.
Unfortunately I don’t have access to anyone that can help me find the error.
I really hope that one of you is able to assist. It seems that it behaves fine on other models and the recommended 64bit lite (but that does not work on the zero)
The link to the project is: https://departureboard.jonathanfoot.com ... nload.html
Many thanks!

Raspberrypi zero W running Raspberry Pi OS Lite (32-bit)
It runs perfectly when started manually (smb – putty)
In order to start it up, I enter:
In order to start it up, I enter:
all good and functioning.
on however, it will not autostart.
To create autostart, I follow these instructions:
To run the program automatically each time you plug in your pi we need to create a start up service, follow the instructions below once you have your API key and stop/station ID needed.Once nano (text file writing program) has loaded write at the top of the new file:Press 'Ctrl' + 'x', then 'y' and 'Enter' to save the file. enter the following in startupDisplay.service:
[Unit]
Description=Starts up the bus or rail display once pi is powered on and connected
Wants=network-online.target
After=network-online.target
[Service]
Type=simple
User=display
WorkingDirectory=/home/display
ExecStart=/bin/bash /home/display/startupDisplay.sh
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Once again save and exit the file by pressing, 'Ctrl' + 'x', then 'y' and 'Enter'.(see printscreen result from systemctl status when running)the service then runs fine.
However when pulling the plug or a and then waiting leads to nothing: the automatic starting does not work.
(see printscreen result from systemctl status after reboot)(display shows static display from before reboot but no longer changing)
If I pull the plug and then put it back, the screen remains blank. The systemctl status result remains the same as that after a reboot.
When I run groups display GPIO is listed.
I am at a complete loss, I have found so many threads which seem to deal with this but nothing has worked for me so far.
Many thanks!
