At various times there have been posts on this forum about incorrect or misleading announcements or information on signage. So a warning to anyone planning to explore the Yorkshire Dales from the latest issue of "Relay", the Wensleydale Railway Trust's supporters magazine-

Quote
Garsdale station train information

It has been reported that the new automated information displays on the platforms
at Garsdale (and some other Settle-Carlisle stations) are sometimes - but not
always - operating in reverse. This has potentially disastrous travel consequences
for any passengers who catch a train in the opposite direction from their intended
destination.

The correct platform at Garsdale for trains going north to stations for Carlisle is
on the SAME SIDE as the houses and signal box; the correct platform for trains
going south to stations for Leeds is on the OPPOSITE side from the houses and
signal box (i.e., the same side as statue of famous dog, Ruswarp). The Friends of
the Settle-Carlisle line have reported this problem to Northern, who installed the
displays, but any further reports noting date, time and if possible, photos, might
help in identifying and resolving it.

Perfect opportunity to share a picture of Ruswarp, and some other dog.
