criticism here is a good sign?

I've not had cause to try it. I noticed one report claiming
cross-platform interchange for "round the corner" passengers. That
must be a lie of course.

I just knew you would be first 'anti' to speak up. Give it a rest
FFS...

Why? I and anyone making a similar journey have lost any assurance
of a step-free route between King's Cross and Earl's Court with the
added nightmare of the dire departures indicators at Edgware Road.

So you keep saying, and it 's getting tedious in the extreme. As
Paul C suggests, once a long period of statistics is available, no
doubt they'll be able to prove whether platform allocation at
Edgware Rd is reliably happening as shown on the signs. In which
case your assurance of a step free route will be there if you get a
Circle train. If that means you have to change twice on a journey
between Putney and Kings Cross, we know that. We've been hearing
about it for about two years now...

I only read they were promising step free on the Outer Rail, from Earls
Court to King's Cross. I read the other direction as no promises at all.
An have you ever tried to work out which the next train to High St is
going from at Edgware Road? I even got off a train I should have stayed on
because I believed a "Next Train to High St" sign on that bloody station!

You've obviously missed the Standard reports of it being even less
reliable than before, as well as less frequent.

We all know it is less frequent, and we know the reasons.

I don't know if you've seen the reports in the Standard but what I saw led
on reliability falling.
