Really interesting thanks, I didn't realise it wasn't a choice that was being made. Explains why when I moaned at the driver he looked at the panel and shrugged his shoulders
Increasingly buses turning short have the short display on the outside but inside it has the whole route, and so does Google Maps. I'm wondering is it a Centre on instruction to do that? It's really really annoying
Nice pic. Could they not just've cleared people from the car and crossing, closed the car door and allowed the train to pass at walking pace before moving in to mop up the scene?
I'm surprised though the evasion isn't logged for inspector teams to target repeat offenders same time every day style. I agree and said it before that the staff appear totally disinterested at dealing with evaders and yet will happily pounce on a granny making a ticketing mistake
Semi-related to this and the topic. IIRC when the 321s were introduced from Euston I could've sworn the wipers were connected together on coupled units. I never understood why or how they managed to stay together.
Difference being there's probably only 1 flight a day whereas I'll assume from what others have posted is EMR's view is they'll get you to your destination on a first come first served basis in the queue and you won't know which train you'll be on until the magic wardrobe door opens in front of you
Tells you the design was probably done by crowd control experts to suit extreme once a year conditions rather than people with railway knowledge suiting every other day of the year
Similarly using the station loos. All too often I see people on Southern extremely busy trains using the toilet for a seat and only reappearing as the train arrives at London bridge.
