Work’s on track

LYE train station is to be installed with automatic platform announcements after Centro-PCT secured £1m funding from the government.

The money will be spent on providing induction loops and new live' easy to read departure information displays on platforms and station entrances.

The system works by tracking the movement of trains so people waiting on the platform can get-to-date information about whether their service is on time or delayed.

Councillor Keith Chambers, lead member for Rail for Centro-PCT said: "This new technology will mean using the train is an easier, better informed and more attractive option."
