London Midland Upgrade Passenger Information Displays
14 February 2011
Dozens of stations including Bletchley, Leighton Buzzard, Northampton, Tamworth and Wolverton have been supplied with new customer information display equipment by Ashby-based display technology and communication company Infotec.
Part of a massive project to regenerate London Midland stations, the contract was awarded to Infotec by security and communications product specialist Fone-Alarm Installations. London-Midland is investing £11.5m in improving its stations. Work is taking place on extending car parks, increasing security, keeping them cleaner and tidier and improving electronic information boards.
Single and double-sided platform next train indicators with clocks, summary departure boards and 17in, 19in and 32in LED displays have all been supplied by Infotec as part of the Fone-Alarm order.
Site surveys to determine what bracketry was required, project management and a one-day technical training course in display maintenance have also been provided by Infotec.
As with all Infotec displays, those provided have been delivered with guarantees – a one-year return to factory for the large format TFTs, a two-year return to factory for LCD, small format TFT and the communication hubs and a five-year return to factory for the LED displays.
