Stop Announcer

If you are concerned about the PSVAIR requirement for Rail Replacement vehicles we may well be able to help.

Whether you use coaches or buses the Stop Announcer can work for you - its big enough for buses but compact enough to be installed (temporarily if you like) on coaches too. You need a destination blind too and the stop announcer pack for Rail Replacement fulfils that requirement too.

Our stop announcer for rail replacement services works similar to the stop announcer for scheduled bus services. The aim of the announcer is to be as frictionless as possible which is more challenging for rail replacement..

We have tried to make it as painless as possible - when you get your notification of allocations from the rail company you forward the details to us (you may be able to include us as a cc in the email from the rail company).We will then push them out to your stop announcers. 

Then the announcer needs to know which of the available replacements its on. Again we want to make this as painless as possible. Firstly the stop announcers will hunt to find a possible service - often the stop announcer figure out which service it is on. Or you can use the online portal to allocate a vehicle/announcer to a particular job. Or the driver can select the job direct on the stop announcer. 

But what about emergency work? Well - it can work in the same way because it only takes a few minutes from receiving an email to the announcer being ready..

Or if there is no written notification or there is a need to do things manually, the driver can select the stops direct into the panel. Of course, this is not ideal and it is not how the panel is intended to be used normally, but it's there if you need it.  

One extra thing (or perhaps more). Rail replacement vehicles need a destination blind and the announcer package for rail replacement does include one which the announcer controls. Actually the announcers support multiple panels to provide for display inside the vehicle (e.g. upstairs in a decker) or for display externally (e.g.beside the entrance door).
