Due to Friday's now regular ASLEF strike I have been using the Southern
train from Watford to West Brompton but on Friday decided to try Bakerloo to
Wembley then the Southern train. Why is Wembley Central such a **** hole.
Firstly you have to exit the Bakerloo/Metro platforms through the barriers
then take the public route to other platforms which are locked out of use
until a few minutes before the train arrives. A couple of regulars thought I
was a pratt try the locked doos until they realised that I haven't used this
station before then the bloody Watford train came into the southbound
platform. Just as well the guy had come to unlock the southbound platforms.
Being a strike day I would have been mega ****ed if I couldn't have caught
the train as would have been the people who got off onto a locked platform.
I also didn't notice any oyster validators. What happens when oyster is
introduced on trains to Watford and will the ex from the Bakerloo and
re-entry to catch the southern train count as two journies.
