Euston questions
I popped into Euston yesterday at 6pm. The electronic Solari boards all had trains on them but none had a platform apart from the DC service. The concourse was packed with baffled people. As soon as a platform appeared for a train, part of the crowd made its way forward weaving through the rest. It was chaos! I asked the information woman if something had gone catastrophically wrong with a system, but no, this was normal and the crowd level was normal too. Some trains had no platform announced until they were due to leave in four minutes, which is fine for the fit but not so good for twirlies. I was astonished that such an important station could be run so badly. I found a flood gate whose purpose I could not divine. As you go down the escalators from the main concourse to the Underground, if you turn left at the bottom instead of right you end up in a corridor leading to the car hire and stuff. There is a flood gate a few metres from the Underground ticket hall, but it's only head height rather than roof height. Why is it there at all? Is the car park expected to flood? |
