Public Address Overkill

KSW · 23-09-2008, 17:25

I agree a simple announcement after the pervious stopping station it should announce "The next station is Wicklow" "Were now arriving at Wicklow, Thank You" The 29000 Commuter trains currently announce Next Station Wicklow- Thats it nothing like when the train is approaching wicklow " Were now arriving at wicklow" I think would be more helpful rather than next station wicklow when the train gets closer to wicklow........

On the CDE trains, I thought that when a train arrives at say Limerick Jnct it announces that time rather than this is the 09:00 from dublin hueston, I thought before it announced this is the 09:34 from dublin hueston to cork, The time thats published at Limerick Jnct to cork.....

Originally the system said for the 9am Dublin Cork

This is the <departure time of last station> from Dublin to Cork, that caused confusion as to which train it was, it now says this the 9:00 from Dublin to Cork at all stops, much easier find in the timetable

We pointed the problem out on the very first public run and be fair to the IE manager involved he got it fixed

They haven't managed to get it to say the time in Irish yet though.
