Solution

In ajaxLoadLiveRailInfoRes function instead of calling marker.openInfoWindowHTML do the following:

    document.getElementById("infowin").innerHTML = "<div class='mapbubbletitle'>"+stationListArr[stationIndex].name+" Station</div><div class='raillivefeed'>"+res+"</div><div class='clear'></div><div class='mapbubblebody'><img src='images/poweredbynr.gif' alt='Railway Station' title='National Rail'><br /><a href='http://nationalrail.co.uk/stations/"+stationListArr[stationIndex].code+"/details.html' target='_blank'>More information on "+stationListArr[stationIndex].name+" Station </a><br />Plan a local journey <a href=\"javascript:gotoJPlanner('"+stationListArr[stationIndex].name+" rail station','')\">from</a> / <a href=\"javascript:gotoJPlanner('','"+stationListArr[stationIndex].name+" rail station')\">to</a> "+stationListArr[stationIndex].name+" Station<br /><a href='http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/times_fares/' target='_blank'>Fare and timetable information</a></div>";
