Their willingness to repeat nonsense for bulletin after bulletin is often less obviously workable out than that one, like the time that they kept announcing that services on the "Lewisham line" were being diverted, when they meant that services between Dartford and Lewisham via Bexleyheath were being diverted via Sidcup (rather important for punters to know that they were NOT going via Bexleyheath, but WERE going via Lewisham). They do this sort of thing over and over. The newsreaders just keep on dumbly reading it out every half hour. You'd think that the London travel newsroom would have some vague idea about transport in London. Blame it on the idiots who put out the press releases. Such things are not normally communicated by press release - certainly not 'live' travel updates. However one only needs to look at some of the examples of future engineering works information on TOC posters and websites and the NRE site to see what a mangled mess can be made of communicating such information - and likewise, the NRE current disruptions page can read rather cryptically too (same can apply to some extent to the 'live' info coming from the TOCs). |
