New Screen went up today at the London end of Platform 4 at Maidenhead just by the DOO▸ (Driver-Only Operation (that is, trains which operate without carrying a guard)) screens. Not yet connected though.

Well when I went through Twyford at about 11:00 this morning the screens weren't operational at Twyford.

And when I returned about 21:39 they were working Smiley

I'm wondering if they're going to put up a Platform 5A screen - the current Platform 5 screen never shows the 0741 Bourne End - London Paddington.

I think Trowbridge has had a new PA▸ (Public Address (broadcast loudspeaker announcements) or Passenger Assist (railway staff providing physical assistance to passengers with mobility issues), depending on context) system... The audio sounds much louder and better over the past couple of weeks Smiley

Does anyone know a timescale for Worle to gain it's new spangdangled TIDs?

Then again the prospect of a smash up by the local yoof might make it a non-priority.

On the other hand, the replaced TVM▸ (Ticket Vending Machine) at Worle seems to be surviving well ...  Wink

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post - a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London, depending on context) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.

No new equipment, nor any sign of any.  PA today so quiet that it was barely audible on Bristol bound platform.  1016 Cardiff full & standing on arrival

Worle is not due any CIS▸ (Customer Information System) or PA▸ (Public Address (broadcast loudspeaker announcements) or Passenger Assist (railway staff providing physical assistance to passengers with mobility issues), depending on context). Hence the 3-button help-points with automated info instead. The only upgrade as part of this project was the new CCTV▸ (Closed Circuit Tele-Vision), which is now complete.

Obviously the local transport authority for Worle is not prepared to put any funding in to pay for CIS▸ (Customer Information System) enhancements. Here on the Cotswold Line Oxon C.C. put money in and even tiny halts such as Combe and Finstock have CIS screens thanks to a supportive LA. Not much chance of further financial contributions however due to the budget cut backs.

Filton up and running this eve.

Trowbridge still a lamp post forest with no signs of new screens. They must have been doing something with the PA▸ (Public Address (broadcast loudspeaker announcements) or Passenger Assist (railway staff providing physical assistance to passengers with mobility issues), depending on context) as it certainly sounded different the other day.
