Default Breach of Safety by LUL, Again

The display indicated no exit, the display could have been incorrect
though I guess.

And you assume that the public at large is too stupid to find the gate and
pass through it safely?

So the public should ignore any warning signs or advisory signs on the
basis that they might be wrong. Should they also ignore announcements
over the pa on they basis that they may also be wrong.

yes. Especialy automatic announcements that seem to contradict
everything else. e.g. person on platform appologising for train being
diverted somewhere else at Earls Court and appologising for the
inconvenience being interupted by "District line services are oprating
normally".

Surely, Chris, the example you've given proves the announcements WERE
correct... A train being diverted at Earl's Court, signal failures on
the Wimbledon branch etc etc: These ARE (unfortunately) a normal
service on the District line... However much we hate them.

I was prepared to give you the benefit of the doubt, but now you've
confirmed my first impression.

I take it that you accept LUL engage in unsafe practices and if a
passenger was injured or killed then it was their own stupid fault. In
the instance that I highlighted the side gate was actually open so
there was not a problem but does that excuse LUL from their duties.
What other safety aspects are LUL taking short cuts over. Well you
obviously believe that it does so I know were you stand on this also.
