Following a successful factory acceptance test, the first new passenger information displays designed and manufactured by Infotec for Manchester Piccadilly station have been installed and commissioned. A main board, displays for the Satellite Lounge and platform entrance clocks are all included in the work, awarded to Infotec by Linbrooke Services Ltd.
The current mainboard consists of two faces with 192 A-to-Z format destinations on each face. The replacement still has A-to-Z with the same number of destinations but adds two further panels for displaying special notices and a standard departures summary.
The design has been made future-proof with platform indicators that are three rather than two digits to accommodate possible requirements for platform zoning and bus service options.
“The new displays have been designed to improve the flow of passengers and allowed enhanced information provision, which assist in station management and passenger satisfaction,” Tim Court, Infotec’s Managing Director, said.
