Shenanigans at Paddington

wrote: Yesterday evening - Monday 20'th - in the middle of the rush hour - the LED departure board system at Paddington went u/s. THOUSANDS of commuters ended up milling around with no-one knowing which platforms their respective trains were departing from. The hapless staff knew even less, and there wasn't a gold-braided manager in sight. Naturally Paddington being one of the least organised of our major stations, train departures never have regular departure platforms - unlike say Amsterdam where the platforms are timetabled and rarely switched - no- one knew what the hell was going on. Do they deliberately not use fixed platforms, like the farce at Euston that results in the race every time a train is called? Neil -- Neil Williams Put my first name before the at to reply. |
