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".
