Got back from a week and a bit away in Devon last night, forgot to post while I was away that I noticed on 21st April that Tiverton Parkway had had its help points installed (ones without built in screens). Didn't notice anything else new though.

All help points should now have been installed, just a small matter of the majority of the CIS▸ (Customer Information System) and PA▸ (Public Address (broadcast loudspeaker announcements) or Passenger Assist (railway staff providing physical assistance to passengers with mobility issues), depending on context) systems to go!

They may have been installed, but does that necessarily mean they are up and running and working? Last time I was at AML just before the long holiday break it was still the same situation - new information points not yet wired up, old ones still standing next to them (also not working) and still the same old worn out dot matrix display screens on the platforms saying they are currently out of use. I don't know if anything is likely to have happened over the Easter break, but I know the residents posting on the Acton Community Forum are growing increasingly fed up of the poor service at Acton Main Line.

The DfT» (Department for Transport - about) must have given them an extension on this - they would be on their back otherwise.

Well, my FOI▸ (Freedom of Information) request should, hopefully, shed light on that. If the DfT» (Department for Transport - about) can get sniffy with Chiltern (and fine them) for a few failed franchise commitments, and express displeasure at XC▸ (Cross Country Trains (franchise)) for failing to install Wi-Fi in accordance with their franchise, then here's hoping that FGW▸ (First Great Western) are, at the very least, getting their butts kicked behind the scenes.
