Travelled on the 1812 Waterloo to Basingstoke this evening, formed of 3x Class 450 with 450088 leading. This train is non stop to Brookwood then all stations to Basingstoke.
The PIS was loaded shortly before leaving Wateloo, which then proudly declared through internal visual displays and audio announcements that the service was to Brookwood, calling at "Brookwood, Farnborough, Fleet, Winchfield, Hook, Basingstoke and Brookwood" The guard then followed this up with a manual announcement confirming that the service was going to Basingstoke.
Shortly before arrigving at Brookwood, the PIS kicked in again, saying that we were approaching Brookwood, where the train would terminate. Again, the guard intervened, correcting the automatic system with the correct details that we were indeed going to Basingstoke.
The system then picked up where it left off, as we approached the following stations, stating that the service was for Brookwood, via Basingstoke! On arrival at Winchfield, where we alighted, we saw that the external displays were indeed all reading Brookwood.
Does this sound like a software fault or something?
Anyone else come across it?
