Update from AML -
As of today we have a working display on the Greenford bound platform (platform 3). Meanwhile the display on the Paddington bound platform is still the old non-working one.
Still waiting for the departures screen by the ticket office to be put in as well (the arm has already been fitted with its flat-screen holder.
Is anyone aware whether the new system is all linked together like the old one or not? For example whenever the old TV▸ screen by the ticket office at AML went wrong it would also affect the platform display matrixes. Judging by what I've seen this evening, it would seem the platform matrix(es) can work independently of the departures screen, unless I'm mistaken.
Going to be away in Devon for a week from tomorrow so the rest of the work might be completed while I'm away.

Probably the mount for the style of display used on the Up Relief platform at Ealing Broadway, which seems to be the preferred choice when there's a very limited number of calling points from a certain platform. That is certainly the case at Acton Main Line as since 1992 it's always 'non-stop to London Paddington!' I must say that I personally don't like these displays as much as the scrolling ones.

I went along to Deepdene to see the new displays today. Unfortunately, the display on Platform 2 and the announcements were not entirely correct. Just as the (on-time) 1625 from Deepdene to Reading arrived, it was announced that the train was due in 3 minutes time. Then long after it had departed, it was now running a further 3 minutes late, and then a few minutes later, it was now expected at 1637. But better to have that, than nothing whatsoever!

Oh no !! The Bodmin Parkway 'voice' has leaked out somehow and infected other stations - everyone will now be able to join the guessing game - where is 'LostWhistle' Station  |

Spoke to Dispatcher at St Erth today - he tells me the folk who did the recording were assured that the correct pronunciation of St Germans 'is' Saint Jer Manz - he didn't know their excuse for 'Lost Whistle'. The recordings are to be re-done. That could be interesting. |

Not CIS▸ , but Ollie and I noted this evening that the Help Point announcement at Keynsham Station is pronounced incorrectly as 'Keen-sham', rather than 'Kane-sham'.   |

A common mistake for non-locals to make  Anyone wishing to hear this classic error can do so from the comfort by their homes, by calling 01793515888 and entering 3237 at the tone (this is the phone number that the help points call). |
