What a mess. Just had a frustrating time there. I was going from Wembley
Park to Canning Town so was considering taking the Met to Baker Street then
changing at Baker Street. Unless there happened to be a train across the
platform at Finchley Road, in which case I'd change there.

To begin with, both platforms 5 and 6 are southbound Met lines. I ran down
the stairs of platform 5 and didn't make the Met train that was on the
platform. Doors closed in my face.

Looked up at the board: 8 minutes till the next one.

So I looked over at the dot matrix display on platform 6, which is up the
stairs and across and down again. There was a Jubilee Line train coming in
1 minute so I figured that I would take that, but if a Met was arriving on
platform 6 in a minute or two then I'd go and take that instead.

Nothing on the dot matrix, just something about the Metropolitan Line.

And then a Baker Street Met line train pulls into platform 6. Just as the
Jubilee line train arrives. I made a dash for it up the stairs, but slipped
and almost hurt myself. I didn't make it, and when I returned to the
Jubilee platform that one had also departed.

What a mess. How easy would it be to put a display between platforms 5 and
6 giving the times of the next trains so you could make a decision, with
time? Or to make sure the display on platform 6 is accurate. Or better
still try and find a way to get ALL trains to arrive at platform 5 (and
leave platform 6 just for those fast ones that don't stop at Wembley Park).
Grrrr.

I can just see thousands of ****ed up football fans or concert goers all
trying to get to platform 6 suddenly, like I did.
