As my memory calls, she made three announcements: 2x "The next train to arrive at.." 1x "The train now standing at" She also omitted to notice that a train had been out the station a few minutes before making another "The train now standing at" announcement to an empty platform. The passing at speed announcement was done twice though. |

The passing at speed announcement was done twice though. Ah i see! Thats completely different compared to Teignmouth (Except for the passing at speed announcement, which goes off on platform 1 twice and platform two once.)! Does anyone know how long the current setup at Teignmouth has been in place? What did Yatton used to have? Was it just 1x "The next train to arrive" and then 1x "The train now approaching"? I noticed while at Liskeard on sunday , that there was only 1 announcement made for every trains, not good considering there used to be 2! |

Those new help machine features gave me an idea... Prospective passenger: pushes blue button. Operator replies: 'Hello caller what I can I do for you?" Passenger: 'There don't seem be any trains'  Operator: 'Have you pushed the yellow button sir, they won't come if you don't'. Operator to his mates: 'Another happy customer'  Paul |

William Huskisson MP▸ 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.

Chris from Nailsea can indeed update you on these points: as of an hour ago -   Platform 1 - machine uncovered, but nothing happened when I pressed the Information button; Platform 2 - machine still under wraps. CfN.  |

Help Point machines at Redland, Montpelier and Teignmouth have already been ... erm, trashed.  Which is odd: they obviously contain no cash - indeed, they have nothing of particular value, outside their working environment. Seeing inside one of the machines at NLS▸ , while the chaps were installing it, I was rather surprised at just how little hardware there is, inside those big white circular cases! CfN |

I've not had a close-up look at them, but hopefully the front panel is modular and could be replaced fairly cheaply when damage has been done?
