This page illustrates a selection
of Customer Information & Other
Facilities that may be provided
at the stations along the Shakespeare
Line. However,
not every station along the line
is equipped with all the facilities
detailed here. The
aim of this new web feature is to
give customers a flavour of what
they should look out for.
The line has a mix of stations ranging
from the busy city/town stations
serving several train routes, to
outer suburban stations and un-manned
rural stations so facilities vary
from station to station. Much depends
upon what funding allows and hence
the progress in installing additional
modern facilities.
Although not illustrated here, some
stations are equipped with automated
public address facilities giving
train announcements. This may be
in conjunction with information
screens or "stand alone".
