I'll take note of stations from Guildford-Portsmouth Harbour-Waterloo (via Woking) tomorrow and report back :smile:

They are still installing them then? Portchester was in need I think some were missing.

Cosham station is always rather shabby looking despite it being staffed. I remember FGW refused to stop there at one time due to anti social behaviour!

I think Fareham-Southampton stations are most in need.

Has Eastleigh been done? Very faded signs last visit and I notice SWT have retained NSE red seats are they planning to roll out the new style seats at all stations?

The new seating at Fareham is very rusty already mind. Perhaps the old seats like trains stand the test of time better.

Didn't get to the Southern Region today, sorry, maybe next week.

Berrylands has been done, it was in the new colours when I went through a couple of months back ;)

FGW don't call at Cosham after around 2000hrs due to anti-social behaviour. Cosham has one of the most apt codes on the network, CSA.:D

Winnersh had its new signs applied a few months ago. Unfortunately they were vinyls stuck over the existing signs so the local morons have ripped all but a handful of them off. And it's been left like that, with barely readable, faded signage.

For some reason Winnersh has always been one of SWT's scruffiest stations, despite the area itself being quite reasonable.

Although the signage has been replaced at Portchester the destination of services has not been updated, still says Platform 1 for trains to Bournemouth, Poole and Wareham. (when the Portsmouth to Southampton stopper used to continue to Wareham).

Referencing an earlier thread but placing it in a more accurate part of the forum...

On my travels to Staines today I can report ALL stations between Havant and Weybridge have the new signage except Petersfield, Guildford and Working and ALL stations between Weybridge and Staines also have the new signage

I quite like that there is a slight difference to the Southern signs vs SWT's (dark green background vs darn navy) but similar enough that there is continuity.
So any chance there will be an extension of this to the trains al a ScotRail...
