Ridgmont TVM

[Bletchleyite]

I noticed earlier that Ridgmont has a new TVM installed (but not yet working) on the Bedford bound platform. It appears to be of the usual Scheidt & Bachmann type.

Are other Marston Vale stations getting them?

Bit concerned that having it only on one side could cause people to "chance" the level crossing to avoid missing their train.

Think I saw one at Millbrook too. Also currently covered in plastic.

I wonder if the plan is to extend PFs onto the Marston Vale, as it's presently a bit of a hole in revenue protection. With the level crossings I think one on each platform is needed, though, I fear there will be some last minute chancers otherwise which might lead to accidents.

they are going on at all stations along the Vale. Ours has arrived at Fenny Stratford but is still covered over.

unsure - i think the machines are a franchise commitment.
