If your mobile phone can send text messages then why not join WsrInfoLive? And you can let others know about late running trains or loco swops. Or simply receive text messages from WsrInfoLive. You don't need more than a simple mobile phone that can receive and send simple text messages...

 WsrInfoLive - how it works
|
- A trusted contributor becomes aware of a late running WSR train or perhaps a loco swop
- The trusted contributor tweets a direct message to the WsrInfoLive twitter account
- The tweet appears on the WsrLiveInfo twitter page
- And is also sent as SMS (text) to mobile phones of WsrInfoLive followers
- And appears on the WsrLiveInfo RSS feed
- And for good measure it appears on www.wsr.org.uk too
|
A little more detail about the workings...
- WsrInfoLive is now using the Bird Herd app to manage a list of trusted twitter account holders who then post private (direct) messages to WsrInfoLive (see below for syntax)
- The private (direct) messages are then treated as if tweeted by WsrInfoLive
- The messages are then sent out to anyone following WsrInfoLive including text messages to mobile phones (if the follower sets up that function within their twitter account)
- The information tweeted will appear:
- on the followers pages on twitter
- on text messages (if set up by follower)
- on an RSS feed
- on www.wsr.org.uk
- The only costs are to those good souls who will be tweeting the messages via their mobile phones.
- The current system is entirely "unofficial" but may still provide useful running information to linesiders, passengers and staff.
