Llandrindod Wells new CIS screens now in use

Went to Llandod today with SWMBO, alas by car today, visited the station as usual & found the new CIS screens on both platforms in use, a vast improvement to the old TV style display,which was pointed to the South on the side of the station, and became invisible after 1200. I was told the screens were erected last week.

On Platform 2, the sign on the door of the regional Network Rail office, still boasts.

Network Rail is unable to give any information on trains,

I also noted after three years the London Midland sign-age, as been removed,which informed pax they must have a valid ticket on boarding LM trains.

The information is large, clear & concise, easily readable as opposed to the old TV screen style with small print .

I now find more information is available, stations the train will stop at, although only four trains on Sunday,8 weekdays the info was readable even with the new platform two CIS screen facing the sun, & of course unaffected on the North side.

The old TV Style screen would have been unreadable yesterday facing the sun & the information was always too small a type for those visually impaired.

In effect Llandod as two excellent double sided screens, & its main income is tourism, if you take out its main employer Powys CC, Llandod being the County town of the largest (area) County in Wales.

 

Er yes, I misread the reason for your comment, but that sign on the NR office door always makes me smile. Also new sign next door to NR offices, it reads
"Network Rail area mess room" it did however appear very tidy
