She's gone now - LTN has finally joined the crowd.
Nooooo! LTN's Sarah was different to all the other ones!
Arghhhh that leaves Blackfriars........ When will it lose/did it lose its Ditra? (I also wonder if the new system will have 'Southeastern' in it when it is replaced - in fact also CTK's: that Ditra couldn't do 'Southeastern'!).
I said it before, and I'll say it again, the new FCC system is more suited to Central London stations... it is definitely worse than even a basic Ditra at open air stations! Especially so when Luton's (again as was the case with the Ditra) does not have every file it needs... Saturday's 1753 Sheffield is a perfect example 'The train now approaching platform 5 is the 1753 East Midlands Trains service to Sheffield. Calling at: Bedford, Wellingborough, Kettering, Market Harborough, Leicester, Loughborough, Beeston, and Sheffield'.
What happened to an up inflected 'Nottingham', as well as 'Langley Mill', 'Alfreton', and 'Chesterfield'?
Oh and whilst I'm having a rant about FCC (TL)'s 'new' system why is 'London Midland' not in BDMs? :roll: Another botched CIS job... along with screens I think are useless (LED boards would be so much better...).
I also notice that with delays on it, under a certain length (not sure precisely how long but I'd make a guess at 10 minutes) and it's just 'to xxx is delayed. FCC/EMT are sorry for any inconvenience caused', with no length of delay at all - really useful that is! Reasons are hard to come by too, only one I've heard (at STP) was 'due to a passenger being taken ill earlier'.
Actually come to think of it what would happen if an LM at BDM was delayed? They can't leave the announcement as 'service to Bletchley is delayed. are sorry for any inconvenience caused'! (Saying that, they probably would, though...).
