On the District Line today, just about to arrive at the platforms at Earls
Court and we stop just for a minute or so and an announcement comes over the
PA, "we are currently awaiting a platform to become free, we apologise for
this delay". The most ridiculous thing was the delay was so short there was
barely time for the announcement to be played before we started again and
arrived at the platforms.
Just seemed pointless to me.
