Ruislip Riddle

Passing through Ruislip the other day I noticed a guy sitting in a ticket collectors' booth on the opposite platform from the station exit. I've seen someone manning it twice now, and thought it odd because there is no exit on that side of the station, you have to cross the footbridge. I looked at the booth this morning, and it has signs on top saying "Assistance" and "Way Out" but there is no way out, I checked. Nor is it a place like Rayners Lane where people change trains, so I would not have thought there was any special need for an assistance point. Could be the guy is doing a sort of sentry duty occasionally to keep an eye on schoolkids etc, but I wouldn't have expected the ticket booth to have been put there just for that . . . Next time I see him if I'm not in a rush I'll ask! He is probably there to assist in the tipping out of passengers on the Piccadilly Line trains that reverse at Ruislip sidings. Burkey There are multiple sidings at Ruislip? Brad |
