We want the new ones there , easier to read especially in the bright light.    Also a wider range of trains to avoid passengers having to hang around to wait for them to scroll forward until their connection appears, even in less than 35 minutes at times of day when the service is more intense.     I know there is a thread for the CIS (Customer Information System) but just briefly does anybody know of any progress in this direction ?

Bristol Temple Meads falls under the FGW (First Great Western) HSS (High Speed Services) CIS (Customer Information System)/PA (Public Address) Renewals, this is going to be completed by the end of 2012, however at current this is being delayed, not sure why at current. Bath Spa and Plymouth are both supposed to of been started however no work has been reported at either, all I can report is some new PA Speakers and 2 new screens at Tiverton Parkway.
