That ought to be permanent IMHO.

I hope not. It is far more civilised to board at a terminus.

Depends. Being given only ten minutes notice of which platform you have
to scurry down at Kings Cross to find your seat eight or nine carriages
away isn't very civilised. At intermediate stations like Peterborough
and Grantham you know exactly which platform, and where the relevant
carriage will stop (they have signs).
