(05 Nov 2015, 2:51 pm)Bus_User The vast majority of your posts are fine but for me, it does not make your posts(or even the forum itself) look good if you see posts with swear words in them for the sake of it.
Anyways, looks like the reason why the suspension was in place for so long was down to the fact the failed train managed to damage the set of points and of course, damaged points won't be repaired in an instance.

Goes to show for those who think its BS and all that rubbish, its nice to know the FACTS before making silly assumptions. I doubt we will ever know how a train can damage a set of points as I doubt its something the RAIB will investigate and its doubtful Nexus would publish in public the reasons behind it.

(07 Nov 2015, 11:39 pm)Richard Young I think it's the system controller that does the disruption messages, but don't know who is the voice artist/provider of the automated platform announcements. I think I might send them an FOI request tomorrow.The onboard train and platform announcements will come in the one disk all muddled up by the way

They finished Gateshead Stadium a few weeks ago. The LED lighting makes the station a lot brighter at night, and the surface of the station is all level now as this was done out too.
Bet there's still quite a few more stations in need of this treatment though!

Unsure how noteworthy this is as I haven't been to Sunderland station for quite some time...
The male who announces train departures at Sunderland station has been replaced by a new female, more robotic voice.
More work has been done to include other stations served, other than simply stating that the train goes to South Hylton or Airport.
Not sure if this would be more appropriate in another thread or not - the Northern Rail announcements have been updated too (anyone know where Prood hoe is?)
