Also a additional Summary of Departures CIS screen is intended to be positioned above the door to the waiting room on Platforms 2/3. This work is scheduled to start in the 3rd week of July and is expected to take about 5 days to complete. The new Platform CIS screens will be double sided (you can view the information from either side of the screen) and have the ability to show the next two trains from that platform, a clock, what platform it is and any special notices such as engineering works.

Doubt it'll help the trains run on time and signal problems that always seem to occur at Gordon Hill and Drayton Park!

It's still investment, as to the signal failures - blame the copper fairies who nick the cabling, if it weren't for them then there would be fewer incidents of signals failing.

This is good news, especially as the clock on platform 1 has been stuck for months now and when it did work conjured up some exotic timings.

Yes it was Monday, and it was carnage as they (three or four staff?) seemed to refuse to open the overflow gate and check those tickets manually, one of the barriers was temperamental and was permanently manned so they could open it when it stuck, and people were queueing down the stairs. I hate those gates, and I hate those stupid small doors that seem to turn people into pushing and shoving idiots, especially those too impatient to get in and push past the 50 or so people trying to get out.

It was also Tuesday as it happened to me but I work from home on Mondays so cannot comment on Monday. They were checking the tickets in front of the barriers rather than step aside and let us go through. One person was getting a fine so it And I agree, those doors are not fit for purpose, it only really lets one person out at a time. I want to get through quickly as I get stressed in crowds and want to get out so I end up in the thick of it. I think I need to calm down and wait until the masses have got through and get less stressed and pathetic.
