Ahh, the wonderful "Stops to pick up only" things on the timetable
Still, stops commuters from stealing my seat when I go upto
Manchester.


Doesn't work around here. Several WAGN trains out of Kings X are
marked as "u" for Finsbury Park but I always have quite a wait
when boarding at FP whilst a large number of passengers alight.
The FP platform staff take no notice (or action) so the "u"
designation seems pointless.


I agree that the designation is pointless. I also don't see what action
they can take. "Oi, you! GET BACK ON THAT TRAIN! You aren't allowed off
it here!"
