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). -- Roland Perry |

But most of the time platforms at Euston for LM services are posted early, and where not regular users can guess as they are very consistent. Neil -- Neil Williams, Milton Keynes, UK |

However, many folks have travelled to the terminus by subway. Ascending escalators, waiting for a train, and accessing one's platform all add to the journey time. |
