A passenger lift was installed alongside the existing footbridge at Hereford station a while ago. As far as I can recall it was complete in January.
Last week I returned by train to Hereford and the lift is still out of use for "safety testing" or similar words.
A member of the station staff acknowledged that it was taking a long time to bring the lift into use, and explained that it was something to do with the "I'm stuck in the lift" call system, which apparently doesn't alert Hereford staff, rather goes through direct to "a centre in Cardiff".
Why is it so complicated and take months to iron out? Anyone had similar experiences elsewhere?
