information boards; information monitors
Explanation:
I believe it's something like this. The site below actually mentions "teleindicators" as an English word, then explains them as "informational boards".

"Information monitors" might also be a possibility. I think they might be the TV screens you see in airports that display arrivals and departures information. If that is the case, then "information monitors" might be more appropriate. Hope this has helped.

Have a look at the entry for \"airline flight information monitors\" on this site:

http://www.flynashville.com/info_center/default.cfm

In fact, if you do a search for \"information monitors\" and \"airport\", you will get quite a few hits.

I feel quite certain now that your \"teleindicadores\" are \"information monitors\".

In a train context, it would be much the same sort of thing - monitors that show arrivals and departures at the station.
