Small Sussex stations get their first service information screens

Monday, March 18, 2024

The passengers using two small East Sussex stations can now get their train service information from electronic screens for the first time.

Glynde and Southease stations, near Lewes, both have two new digital screens. The equipment is part of Southern’s annual investment to improve its customers’ journey experience at small stations across the network.

The screens continue a programme of enhancements to customer information technology along the south coast. Last year saw new screens or public announcement systems introduced at seven small rural stations in East Sussex: Newhaven Harbour, Bishopstone, Pevensey Bay, Normans Bay, Three Oaks, Doleham and Winchelsea.

Across the Southern network, this year’s projects also include new accessible toilets, automatic doors and ramps, more secure cycle parking, and additional waiting shelters.

Stephen MacCallaugh, Southern’s Head of Stations, said: “Many of these projects were suggested by passengers, local communities and station teams. They might be small schemes but they address local needs and make a big difference for many of our customers.

“We’re constantly working to make our train services and stations more attractive and accessible, to give our passengers a better all-round journey experience. And among our station teams, the improvements also foster pride in their workplace.”
