Default Chaos at Hayes & Harlington - as new C.I.S. mis-informs pax

You couldn't make this up. The new c.i.s. has been up and misinforming
passengers for over two weeks - and nothing is being done to correct
the system.

This is a classic case worthy of Private Eye - who have been sent
copies of the photos. It is of two adjacent and supposedly identical
c.i.s. displays in the foyer by the ticket office. Spot the deliberate
mistakes.

When asked why the ticket office staff don't switch the b&w display
off they claimed that they are unable to, like there isn't an on-off
switch on the monitor? Pathetic.


[Snip other stuff]

Er, why would one switch off a perfectly good ARRIVALS monitor? If,
as you say, London departures leave from platforms 2 and 4, there's
nothing wrong with either display!

Look, for example, at the second train shown on both monitors:
- shows on your black and white photo as an **arrival from** Reading
at 11.25 on platform 4
- shows on your colour photos as a **departure to London** at 11.26,
also on platform 4

Or am I missing something here?!
