As I came through Twyford this evening at 22:22 noticed 1 screen up on Platform 4. Also just outside by ticket office entrance there is what I assume will be a summary screen. So definitely taking shape  |

Hopefully. The old system at Twyford hasn't been working for a least a couple of months. It has caused problems in the evening when the relief lines have been closed and people didn't realise the need to use platforms 1 and 2 until the train pulled in.
That's one of the good aspects about the new system, instead of just being a like-for-like replacement, ALL platforms are getting Next Train Indicators, which will benefit places like Twyford where there were no such displays on the main line platforms. Southall also has new displays installed, but not yet switched on. |

You may well be right, ChrisB. But there is nothing in the public domain from DfT» (as far as I can see) that would confirm the extension to 'Spring 2011'. If there is, and you can provide a source, then I'll graciously defer.
In the meantime I'll wait for my FOI▸ response. Well, I've got my FGW▸ response on this one at least.... The FGW part of the renewals are due to be completed in Spring of 2011. They are slightly off track and due for completion at the end of this month. I don't believe an extension to the franchise commitment was required.
The HSS▸ part is being carried out by Network Rail and as far as I am aware is not part of our Franchise Commitment (although it has dependencies on the work being done by the FGW SISS Team), this is due for completion in early 2012 and will begin in July 2011. Reading Station will have it's CIS▸ work done to a different schedule, due to the work being done at the Station. Which bears out my thinking that May is considered to be part of Spring 2011 |

Have I understood that incorrectly or is Maidenhead, and the many other non-HSS▸ stations yet to be touched, supposed to be finished by the end of this month?

OK, thanks - the phrase 'Two hopes: Bob Hope and no hope' springs to mind...

There were several vans with "Telenet" or something like that on the side parked at Maidenhead this morning which was very exciting.. I thought perhaps they were going to start work.. No sign of any people doing anything though so will wait and see.. |

Could be a long wait, given how long it seems to take to complete a basic two-platform installation.
And still doing remedial work on earlier installations. Telent had opened up the scrolling display at Charlbury this morning and looked to be doing some rewiring, following a visit to look at it last week.
