I’d be very surprised if you had Band 2 managers undertaking PICOP duties!

That's one and the same thing at St Pancras, with the exception of when GTR run from Platforms 1-4.

Yes, this is what the CIS will look like when it is live.

It's possible to have them and not have them for each TOC. Agree, the layout at Euston really isn't great, both in in terms of where the CIS has been positioned, and how the information is layed out on the screen! The screens are wholly interchangeable - Thameslink services will show in a...

Calling points run on a ticker below, as demonstrated on the EMR section. It should also be considered that the point of the main CIS is to direct people to the relevent train operator area, where more detailed CIS is displayed... lots and lots of market resarch/engagement undertaken, passenger...

More for the concept of showing what a canx service would look like - SETL aren't going to start running High Speed services via Birmingham New Street either! :lol:

The new CIS will look like this, split by TOC, with infographics to show where you need to go in the station, and both 24 hour and 'analogue' digital clocks.

Correct, 0.000km is the buffer stops for P5-10. P11-13 start at 0.228km 1642776900 Layout diagram here, but can't find topography.

So Network Rail managed stations all follow the same staging for alarm activations. At Stage 1, you'll hear the 'Would Inspector Sand please report to XX' (Station Control Room, Operations Room, etc). After whatever period of time that the fire strategy for the building allows the investigation...

Wind speeds need to be in excess of 100mph before Network Rail High Speed will impose a speed restriction on the line. It is not so much that the OLE is 'better' than what exists elsewhere, it's that it is of a different construction to support high speed running on the route.

Most of the trespass happens at stations - it's not that uncommon for somebody to hop off the platform at Stratford or Ebbsfleet and try to get over to the international platforms for instance.

When St Pancras International was evacuated towards the end of last year as a result of a Stage 2 fire alarm ('This is an emergency, leave the station immediately' rather than the Stage 1 Inspector Sands), the whole station was empty in under 10 minutes - people start moving as soon as they see...

May explain why there are two sets sat at Hornsey with very distinctive EMR aubergine on the front sections...
