It probably varies from area to area. In the case of London Midland stations in the Birmingham area for example, alterations are fed into the CIS system (which controls the announcements and screens) via a computer interface in the Control Room. Control also send an email to relevant stations to...

It was worked by 172345 & 150107

No I was thinking more the actual platforms such as the slabs, tiles, brick work and cementing. I watched them, I mean, fair enough they did a really nice job, but they sure took their time on it! Meanwhile the rebuilding of that viaduct section (which was fascinating) seemed to out pace the...

Considering the painfully slow construction of the end of Moor St platforms they are progressing well!

Because 1. The 172s keep turning up on time at my station. I wont say where I work but its along the line (not near the ends). If they were constantly losing time they would ALL be turning up late. They cannot be both losing time and keeping time. 2. What instruments have you used to...

172337 had brake problems at Langley whilst working 2S30 (10:55 ex SBJ) and was taken out of service. And Id just like to say that the complaint about 172s not being able to keep up with the 150 timings is pure nonsense.

I got on the wrong train at Solihull going in the wrong direction. Which is pretty bad for someone who works for the TOC on that line! (But damn that station is disorientating!)

Fantastic! And when will they be trained to the same standard as civilian police in all other areas of police work?

Good god I hope not! I wouldn't call BTP anymore, it would be like that vigilante sceen in the Simpsons where the guns keep going off! Think ill take my chances with the ruffians instead. At least the only have planks of wood with nails in them.

If in doubt read the back. :D

Tribute will not allow a downward excess. If the new ticket is less than the old it is still a balance of 0.00 If we gave money out we would have a end of shift loss. The only route would be what Yorkie said. I cant say about other TIS.

The OP only asked about the progress of the train being available. That seems to fulfill the states requirement.

No. Go to Live Departure boards and click "details" it shows "Train last reported" point and how late it was at each point. Here is an example (will expire in a few hours) http://ojp.nationalrail.co.uk/service/ldbdetails/hf%2BsfX2PNSqALkstlYRo2Q%3D%3D Unless a delay is manually entered...

Id say its good to set an example. Also the people who work on the railway generally are more aware of just how dangerous it is and how contact with even a slow moving train can lead to appalling injuries. Fast moving is pretty much obliteration.

London Midland. Im going to regret posting this now. I hate doing refunds. I should also state this does not apply to changing the date/time on advances and may not apply to some other situations(Such as those I have nothing to do with as a BO clerk)
