The recent radio fault is being investigated by the engineers.
presumably as are...

1)The low screen refresh rates that cause headaches / migraines

2)The lighting / reflections

3)Poor ergonomic deisgn of all the workstations

4)curious "micro-climate" of the ops room (some places hot, some cold)

5) EAT list that is next to useless

6) No departure CCTV

7) SIS search facility that is difficult to use

the list goes on and on and on.....

Swanwick has not been a glowing success. Anybody that says so is deluding themselves and the public. It has been a qualified success, in that the building is open and the system is relatively stable.

There are still a lot of faults that NEED to be sorted. Most of these could have been avoided if the operational staff at what was LATCC were allowed a bigger say in what we needed. We weren't, and hence the long list of faults that need to be put right now.
