More speakers?! As far as i was aware there was already 3, one up the Exmouth end, one near the entrance, and one at the end of the shelter at the Exeter end. Also 2 more above the screen.

The old Thames Valley PA▸ (Public Address)'s used to announce the "XX:XX  First Great Western nnk service...." (as in Link but without the Li). Surprised that the new one speaks it in exactly the same way. Sounds as though they tried to remove the word Link completely but failed.

Caught the service from Dorking Deepdene to Redhill this afternoon. The on board PA system tells me "the next station is Bletchworth" but the display shows correctly that it is Betchworth.

I've always thought it still sounds like First Great Western Link... That might explain it :-)

That spare L in Bletchworth might be the one missing from Swaything, near Southampton.  There are two voices used at Southampton, one with and one without an L...   Roll Eyes

Decided to come home via Ealing Broadway tonight and noticed the new CIS▸ (Customer Information System) display was in - although not displaying any information. When did this happen? Can't say I noticed it when I used Ealing Broadway last Sunday.

Hayes should be in operation by the end of the week.  Work has only just started at Ealing so as it's a big install it'll probably be the end of the month before it's fully working.

Had a look at Goring & Streatley today. The new CIS▸ (Customer Information System) is a huge improvement. All seemed to be working, including stand clear annoucments for pasing services. That should upset the neighbours!

Footbridge has been reopened and the temporary bridge removed, but still some work to do on reinstatement of the areas where the bases for the temporary bridge were. The reinforcement of the walkway across the bridge is clear to see, but no sign of any replacement of rusted side panels etc. Shame the opportunity was not taken to at least repaint the thing, particularly after FGW▸ (First Great Western) did a splendid repaint job on the station a couple of years ago.
