Thats pretty rare..normally the other way round... or just Phil!

Yeh there are penton sound projectors setup back to back... So does southern have any input on the systems at Clapham Junction? They really should have left CIS & PA up to Network Rail or a dedicated third party not to TOCs...

@fab444 - shows how much they care when it's been like this for weeks, are the Ditra zones all centralised, or does each platform hold a unit..One thing I don't understand is why Phil does the global announcements on Celia's platforms, it's not like ATOS where global announcements can play...

Haha! DW I'm sure Celia doesn't mean it...Though maybe the problem could be caused by the problems that the other platforms at CJ are experiencing?? As I said before I'm pretty sure I've heard Celia say Imperial Wharf a few days prior to her being turned off.... Who knows what's happening...

I have a feeling its someone at Platforms 13/14 messing around with the equipment Celia sounds distorted, its like someone has turned up the volume on the Ditra hardware, but kept the amplifier low, so its sounds cracking.. they had Phil on for a while too a few months ago, until someone...

It was 13/14 Celia I wish/hope they decide to use 'x, this is x' standing format and chimes... One other thing I noticed, Celia (same platform) hasn't announced delays/cancellations in months - they are either left, or rarely announced manually!

Seems like someone has fiddled around with the Ditra at Clapham Junction, not getting any 'pre-arrival' announcements and seems like they can't be bothered to update the CIS/Ditra when it comes to train lengths, so you end up looking like a right idiot running from the 12 stop point to 4 because...

Clapham Junction isn't missing the file, I got that service yesterday ;)

Ohh ok cheers

Thanks :) When you say track circuits, do you mean those 'yellow rectangular grills' on the track as you approach a station or have I lost you?? Correction: when I said relaying info to ditra in my last post I mean't as in to the software itself :)

On a slightly different note, how does Ditra know when a train is running a few minutes late? Occasionally, trains run 2/3 mins over and the CIS/PA update, is someone actually manually informing the system of minor train delays (obviously yes, if it's something major, when a reason needs to be...

Yes it was... but it was in 1st person (something I notice fluctuates, station-from-station); can someone explain the variation? Another thing, I was at Gatwick the other day... and I noticed the Atos; Why don't they pay proper voice over artists? Mike and Sarah... are terrible. If they wanted...

I heard a new Ditra one today at Moulsecoomb; Phil saying something about the timetable changes... I will try and capture it tmor... :wink:

Ahhh....I always thought the chime variation was based on how busy a station was, say for instance, a small rural station with only a few trains an hour might use the 4 note chime, whilst at slightly busier stations, the 3 note, and stations such as Clapham Junction, where Phil and Celia...

LOL!!! Haha, yes I did a while ago though (might have the clear recording somewhere, will try and find that too)- I think the announcements are somewhat abrupt without the chimes... are you 100% sure though, I can swear I've heard Celia with four before, specifically on Clapham Junction (will...
