Whilst waiting for my Wrexham & Shropshire train yesterday at Marylebone I noticed this on the back wall of the Customer Help point between Upper Crust and WHSmiths - http://www.flickr.com/photos/ketmonkey/4862909038/

nice stuff, looks like a considerably larger version of TMIS by Bombardier that we have in our announcers office at work.
When in doubt - Contingency plan 2A. Someone didn't buy the milk - 2A. Someone sneezed at Swansea - 2A. A driver complains the cab is too cold - 2A. Unable to operate a HEx service 4 vice 8 - 2A. Points failure at Ipswich - 2A. Landslip at Pitlochry - 2A Log in to reply |

There's quite a few of these about if you have time to look around. They're usually to aid staff. I noticed one the other day on Gatwick Airport platform 3. Its by the London end escalators/stairs, about waist high in a small metal cabinet. The lid is usually open and it shows the Gatwick area. Tony Log in to reply |

There's one at Manchester Picc at the information desk in the middle of the concourse. They don't look like IECC, more like an overview. I couldn't understand at all what was going on!

I think its for train despatch staff to see where certain trains are in case of late running and delays also helpful during the peak especially at Marylebone due to the short turn round times of trains there never had it when I was there had to radio the signalman. Hope this helps Log in to reply |

The one at Marylebone is very useful for me to see which platform my train is coming in on - which gives me a better chance of actually getting a seat on the train! Amersham trains are usually 2BXX or 2CXX  But there again, it's usually "out in the wild blue yonder" of platform 6!!

I remember in the early/mid 80s when I worked on Plumstead Station some of the busier stations had vdus about the size of an old portable that showed all the different panels in London Bridge and Dartford boxes.Woolwich Arsenal had one as did Dartford and Sidcup.Generally they were used so the Foremen could phone up the smaller stations and let them know about trains running out of booked order to save the signalman phoning everybody.It was very interesting to watch the rush hour in the London Bridge area.

Amersham trains are usually 2BXX or 2CXXxCxx is for trains Coming into Marylebone from the Amersham line and xBxx is for trains heading Back towards the Amersham line. Once you get to know your inward train, then it will always give you an indication of where your train will normally be... ...unless it's moved onto a different service of course! Log in to reply |

The age of the signalbox generally has a bearing on the level of information that can be displayed. Marylebone ASC shows the colour of the signals (i.e. on or off), manual main aspect routes having been set (like the white routes set in SimSig), and manual shunt routes or ROL routes having been set (yellow routes). Banbury South shows the routes but not the colour of the signals. Banbury North doesn't show anything. This pattern is repeated across the network. Log in to reply |
