Re: [NSW] Plasma Screens

[David Bradshaw <davidbradshaw@my-deja.com>]

Why are passenger information systems still manually controlled? Is it
a matter of cost? Union demands? Practicality?

I was under the impression that PI systems in part of the network
(ESR?) was or used to be controlled automatically. I was also under the
impression that, at least at some stations, the PI systems were
controlled from a nearby signal box. Were/are these the cases, or have
I been confused?

Thanks, David.
