I haven't yet seen the displays at Crowthorne show anything other than on time. However to date there hasn't been any late running when I've been there.

I've noticed this weakness on the Live Departure Boards website as well. I usually check LDB for North Camp on my phone before I get out of the car. If the train is 3 minutes down on leaving Wokingham, the expected time at North Camp will stick at 3 minutes late, even though due to ample catch up time arrival at NCM will be on time. Therefore there seems to be no trigger point at all between Wokingham and North Camp.
Am I right in thinking that North Camp is the boundary between Wokingham signal box and the Guildford signalling centre?

I guess that is the reason the signal you can see after the junction at Wokingham heading towards Crowthorne stays at red for 10 minutes after the train has passed it. |

The boundary is at MP54 between Blackwater and Farnborough North according to the Quail map. Paul |

The signalling headways between Wokingham and North Camp are 6 minutes for fast trains and 11 minutes for stopping trains, the route takes a bit longer than this to complete so suggests there must be more than 2-3 signalling sections, this is why I don't understand why there is no reports at North Camp and other stations, there is even a signal on the Reading bound platform so surely this must be able to provide a departure report. I'm sure several other stations on the line must have signals near by too |

Well, it didnt last long, after removal of the temporary CIS▸ flatscreens the new orange dot matrix 3 line display has gone back to displaying a default screen of "Welcome to Charlbury station" and the time. No train information whatsoever. Been like this for two afternoons and one morning at least (may be longer but I wasnt on the trains at the start of the week).

I'm wondering when Spring officially finishes.. Since the new CIS▸ screens were due by the end of last year and then this date then revised to "Spring".. I'm hopeful it might be soon for Maidenhead.. Although no sign of it yet..
At least they seem to have mended the old system at the moment..

I spoke to a FGW▸ station supervisor at Charlbury this morning. Seems a delivery lorry associated with the track redoubling at CBY took out an overhead BT cable. So no train information or credit/debit card purchases at the ticket office or ticket machine purchases until the line is repaired.

The new systems seemed to be being set up at Warminster as my Portsmouth Harbour train went by. All up but still in packaging with engineers around.
I looked at the new ones at Westbury (what seem to be the standard new installs). They look quite cheap and tacky compared to the older HSS▸ systems. Looks like typical ATOS naming, from the people that brought FCC▸ 'Kings X', I saw my train was headed to Southampton ctl and Portsmouth & S (that really is quite a poor attemp for Portsmouth and south sea...). A limit on how many letters per name?
Why are the old clocks being deactivated?
