I'm sure I just saw it say "Help me Obi Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope."
Ah, if only.

Well they could always dispose of the knackered hologram units in some abandoned tunnel somewhere.

In the hospital I work at a few years ago, we actually had cardboard cutouts of a nurse with motion sensors outside each ward. The motion sensor would activate a pre-recorded voice message reminding visitors to use the alcohol hand cleaners as part of infection control against MRSA etc. They became very annoying and some wag managed to hack at least one to play the "Top Cat" TV theme tune; also one was stolen and left in the nearby park! Those things were dispensed with within a year.They do have them in some hospitals, in a "welcome" role. Impressively, they manage to be less useful and more annoying than the KX ones.
These are not the elevators you are looking for
They can go dump them under Manchester Victoria station, they'll be right at home with the cab from 142059.
I think someone has booted the one by the gates in Leeds, the figure thing doesn't line up with the cut out.
The system goes on-line August 4th. Human decisions are removed from escalator use. The Holograms begin to learn at a geometric rate and become self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug...
I've mentioned it in another thread, but St Albans City now has this thing - and it has TWO women. A FCC woman warning about keeping clear of the yellow line and slippery surfaces etc, followed by the same woman changing costume into a BTP uniform and talking about security.
Scary!
(Edit; when I say two women - I mean one machine, but when one woman finishes, it fades out and she reappears in a different uniform and a different message.)
As usual someone ( usually office based staff) trolling on the internet, O look what I have found we could do with one of these, now where can we put it?
err Kings Cross for starters to try and stop people going up the escalator with luggage and they might fall back down, I bet the people have most probably just up from the underground complete with luggage on the escalators which are longer and busier than Network Rails.
When all said and done if you take a large case on the escalator and fall back down it, execpt for injuring someone else, its your own fault for been so stupid.
"nanny state", "says a lot about this country" Sorry, but I find those phrases to be absolute tosh, in the context of the holograms!
Rather than covering liability or "nannying", I honestly think some Network Rail director of procurement was approached by a corporate salesperson at an industry do, and was somehow, somehow convinced to order these bulky, outdated, braying nuisances.
I've always believed the "nanny state" to mean an apparent meddling of the state in people's lives, of which the holograms most certainly are not. They're more conveying potentially useful safety advisories in an exceedingly clumsy, irritating, and completely useless way.So 'nanny state' isn't a load of tosh, then, as you've admitted it might be because of liability issues.
As for 'approached by someone who was somehow convinced', give me a break! They made the conscientious decision to install the holograms ergo they are worried about liability.
At the end of the day, this isn't Dragon's Den.

Does anyone know how much they cost? They'll almost certainly be four figures, and then I'd also like to know how many Network Rail has bought or agreed to buy.
Oh, and how much it will be to record the video (and re-record in the case of FCC changing to Govia).
