Spoke to platfrom staff at Maidenhead. Said it would be a four week job to remove all the old system and install new one. This is first week of four.

New System is up and running at Penzance, with some start up issues, like killing St Erth, Camborne and Redruth OLD CIS▸ systems, however error recovered. FGW▸ know something Cornwall Council doesn't, The Andos units often say Welcome to ST Penzance.  |

No sign of any work upstairs on the platform yet but if it's going to take four weeks I guess there is lots to do.. I imagine the station staff will be glad when it's done as meanwhile, now the old system has gone, they are having to manually announce every train...  |

And before you harp - there were changes agreed with the DfT» over scope detail, and they agreed an extension completion date of the end of 2011. So, well within. This weeks work.... Improvements last week: CIS at Penzance
Improvements planned for this week: CIS and PA▸ at Twyford, Southall, Dawlish, Langley The reason that the Maidenhead works will take so long to complete is that the wiring is shot & needs replacing too. |

Many thanks, Chris. That date does at least seem achievable given the current level of progress.

I concur. That's what the DfT told me in response to an FoI request. Responded by email rather than full FoI disclosure though..... |

If the scope details meant we get such a plethora of monitors on all platforms then the small additional delay will have been well worth it.
