Filton up and running this eve. Platforms 2 and 3 have their own displays, but platform 1 just has a general information display for all platforms, so there's no information about route stops and train lengths on that side. Edit: They're putting in one now. |

Platform 1 working this evening at Filton, chainsaw taken to the lampost forest at Trowbridge, HST▸ still remembers to stop. Filton has a bigger Metro box. All the old Filton CRT‡ displays have now gone.

Test messages are going out at 5pm this evening with the same info.

Romsey... Good & useful. New 'three line displays' on each platform and the adjacent 'listing screens' that alternate between the next few trains and a 'first train to' showing all the relevant stations. Bad idea.  The 'information' signs on each platform, immediately above the windows where the old CRT‡ displays were located, are still in situ. A probable case of 'not my job guv', I expect - and removal would have taken about 5 mins while they were there with the ladders and tools... Paul |

Paul Such Issues are what you get with Contractor working. First: It's extra work not specified, so another visit and another Dollar (well $150) Second: For a Contractor to do NONE specified work is a Sackable offence. Third: Ever asked a Contractor on a Station for advice Re Trains? If you are lucky "it's not my job" If you are unlucky the air turns BLUE |

Thanks for your updates. I note that there is no planned installation of full train information boards at Worle from a few posts ago, can anyone explain why? Is it actually a local authority funding issue, or is it just deemed unnecessary given the comparatively fewer passengers when compared with Yatton/Nailsea/WsM?

North Somerset Council would need to foot the cash if they wanted a fancy screen next train display thingy. Presumably they have opted to not put up this cash as knowing Worle, it would be money wasted when it is smashed to pieces by the locals! |

Hmm.  The ticket vending machine at Worle still seems to survive, despite negative comments on this forum. And I'm due to install some local school artwork in poster cases there, as part of the Severnside Community Rail Partnership's work in that area. Are you telling me I shouldn't bother?  Chris. |

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.

The current Customer Information project has involved the relacement of old eqipment with new. Worle never had a CIS▸ system in the first place, so there has been nothing to replace. Local authority funding does not come into it. The earlier Help Point project did however involve local authority funding - if they stumped up the cash the help point would have been upgraded to the type with an embedding WebCIS screen. Worle got the middle option - 3rd button with automated train info. Milton got the WebCIS. Don't know the whys or wherefores, but I'm sure there's a logic to it. |
