Nice announcement

The whole announcement thing is getting a bit silly. Not only on the trains but on the platforms. But what irritates me almost more than the number of the announcments is how (1) the train and platform announcements don't co-ordinate and (2) when things aren't working properly (late running and particularly out of order running) the systems don't cope. The one that ****es me off is that the recorded announcements of "this is Putney. The next station is Wandsworth Town" are usually wrong. They're either a stop or two out, or they think the train is travelling in the opposite direction. Not very helpful when you're buried in a good book and want to know when to get off the bloody train. This even happens on those trains where the trainco has been stupid enough to try to tie the doors in to GPS so that they can't open if the driver stops a yard or two away from the end of the platform. -- David Cantrell | London Perl Mongers Deputy Chief Heretic While researching this email, I was forced to carry out some investigative work which unfortunately involved a bucket of puppies and a belt sander -- after JoeB, in the Monastery |
