Journeycheck is currently showing the following for Cheltenham Spa (my bold)
I'd always assumed that the railway used its own data network but the above implies that Cheltenham, at least, uses the public Internet.
Can anyone working in S&T or IT tell us more about how it's done, both for safety critical things like signalling and others like CIS and retail systems?
Due to a fault with the internet the following faults have been reported:
The ticket office is unable to accept debit or credit cards.
Ticket Vending Machines are not working.
Please purchase tickets at the first available opportunity to do so when no other means of purchasing them is available at the station.
Additionally, the Customer Information Screens are not working.
