New passenger information screens

Installed and working at Slaithwaite. Don’t yet know what the delay is with installing them at Marsden.Photo-0001Photo-0002New passenger information screens, providing more or less accurate information about destinations of trains, delays and cancellations.

Unfortunately this picture shows up one of the flaws.

It’s 10.23 (and 58 seconds). The 10.22 has not arrived yet, but it’s been removed from the screen. That’s because Slaithwaite is not a timing point, so they have to make an assumption as to whether the train has called. They know when it left Huddersfield, they will know when it gets to Marsden, unfortunately if it sets off from Huddersfield on time but gets delayed their computer won’t know.

No need to panic, it turned up a couple of minutes after this photo was taken.
