Train Information Points
This page
informs you of a surprisingly little-known secret at many of our
unmanned stations, the Train Information Points. These little
orange boxes may appear innocuous at first, however they are the
primary means by which you can be kept informed of current and
planned disruptions at the stations, and can also act as a vital
link in an emergency.
On each box, one of which is on each platform at our unmanned
stations, there are two buttons, both of which serve different
functions:
Train Information Button (Blue): This button plays a
pre-recorded message, informing you of any significant delays
affecting the train service, and informing you that the trains are
running fine!
Emergency Button (Red): This button will put you directly
through to a controller, and should only be used in case of an
emergency at the station.
So, when you arrive, just push the Blue button to hear up-to-date
information on train running, and if there is an emergency, use
this box as your first point of call. They may be small, and
seemingly insignificant, but you will no doubt find them very
important!
If any of them are faulty, then en we highly recommend that you report
the fault immediately.
