The outcry at the railway station in Kristinehamn today was only about canceled trains or changed arrival times.

The exclamation point about the time a train departs or arrives and to or from which platform has been removed.

- It will eventually make it easier for the visually impaired to travel, claims the Swedish Transport Administration's press manager Bengt Olsson.

What he is referring to is a mobile app that will provide the information that the visually impaired need in connection with their train journey.

But that app is not expected to be completed until January.

- It is deplorable, says completely blind Dan Andersson in the National Association of the Visually Impaired.

No info about time and platform

SVT meets him and his visually impaired comrade Kenneth Henningsson at the railway station in Kristinehamn.

There, they test another of the technical solutions that the Swedish Transport Administration believes should solve the need for information, a so-called talker.

But when you press the buttons for departure or arrival, no information is given at all about train times or platform.

The only sound that the voice in the device emits is a repetition of the calls for canceled trains that are heard in the speakers at the station.

- We get to look at those talkers to see what's wrong with them.

We have not had that information before, says the Swedish Transport Administration's press manager Bengt Olsson, who also refers to the possibility of getting help from escorts at the railway stations.

The number of exclamations for many

The reason why the Swedish Transport Administration has withdrawn the call for departures and arrivals is stated to be that the number of trains has increased so sharply that the call is too many.

The agency has also conducted surveys that show that the majority of travelers do not obtain their information about arrival and departure via the call as long as it is not about traffic disruptions.

The changes to the call have already been implemented at the majority of the country's 481 railway stations.

Those affected today are the last 86.
