(Incidentally I must e-mail LUL; the Station Assistant at West Ruislip
was one of the friendliest people I've ever encountered!)

There always seems to be a station assistant there during morning
rush-hour, and I agree - very friendly - even recognises me now and
wished me a Good Morning.

Goodness! That almost elevates us to the status of friendly
neighbourhood dog ;-)
But seriously, is this really unusual?
To be fair, I usually use ticket machines to purchase tickets and seldom
see anyone at any of the suburban tube stations I use. Because I
needed some help from this chap, he was able to give it.

On reflection, I've seldom had any bad experiences with station staff
(grumpy *** at the Baker Street ticket window once, that was about all)
but this chap just cheered the day up.

I try to say good morning to all the customers and often more to those
I've got to know....
If only I used Bethnal Green (?) more often!

Nice comments from customers make the day for me too.

One morning I'd just finished writing up a white board when a woman said
to me, "Your writing is so nice that even when it says there are delays,
they don't seem so bad"

And the man who said (while I was doing PAs)
"I could understand every word of that; you'll have to try much harder"

Then you'd never get a "Good Morning" from me ;-)

I know the feeling!

Great :-)

Someone said something very similar to me on a coach tour a few months
ago......

Oh are you not at BG? My error!

But I had a very nice 'good afternoon' from you the other week......
