A new (different type) information display at Charlbury, a colour flat screen housed where the old indoor CIS▸ VDU was located, seems to be consistent with the new orange dot matrix. We also still have the web based screens (3 of them) facing inwards or outwards of the windows of the ticket office but this morning there were showing the 0952 as being on time but starting from Oxford rather than showing cancelled at CBY, later before the 1008 departed (late) the web based screens failed.

well, the two newer screens were useless this morning, missing the 0835 CBY to PAD» completely. Older web based system was not only working but showing correctly that it passed Ascot a few minutes late and was on route to CBY with 8 carriages.

I'm sure the fact that there was an article yesterday in the Maidenhead advertiser (after two letters on the subject last week) about the lack of information at Maidenhead for the last couple of months bears NO relation to the fact it was working this morning for the first time in ages (it's a pity the trains weren't though)  |

Bramley on the Reading-Basingstoke line new CIS▸ were installed yesterday and all working at 0610 this morning. We also have a new PA▸ system pre-announcing the train twice and as it arrives. Not sure how the people in the houses next to the station feel about this ! Also the location on Platform 1 (from Basingstoke towards Reading) of the CIS sign makes no sense - hidden behind both a lamp post and the new PA system ...it's also down the far end of the platform  |

I thought Bramley always had a PA, or was it recently turned off? Any ideas who the voice is? |

Yes, and another very strange choice of location. They seem to be deciding where to put them by pinning the tail on a donkey with a FGW▸ route map tattoo! |

Henley now up and working today.
Was told by platform staff at Maidenhead that they don't expect the system to be installed there until March !

That tallies roughly with what I was told, but I suppose it's nearly February, so it could be up and running in just over a month.

It seems that station on the Didcot patch are getting done might have a lot to do with that having new computerised system where as Slough Panel is electromechanical relays with hybread bit added over the years

Sorry to go off topic, but would you mind explain what the overall difference is, and how it effects the information systems, and also what is a hybread bit? Hope you dont mind explaining  |

I was told by FGW▸ customer services it'll be Spring for Maidenhead.. So let's hope it's early Spring.. We've been quite a long time without proper information..  |

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.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.
