King's Cross entrance to Underground to close
Tocside - no room for confusion.
"Dr J R Stockton" wrote : That sounds like one half of a pendulum clock. Language doesn't need to be pretty; it simply needs to communicate. "Paul Scott" wrote... Except we are discussing barriers in an LU station, and there are plenty of TOC run stations that have no barriers, and both LU & TOCs are generally responsible for the whole station anyway, whichever side of the barrier you are on. Unless you are in a major main line station managed by Network Rail, or a minor main line station run by LU etc etc... So as you say, no room for confusion at all... Nitpicking! I suspect you are choosing to be confused ;o) Once you cross the barrier, you are tocside; even if there's no physical barrier, once you've crossed, you are on 'railway territory' as opposed to 'a public place'. LU isn't formally a 'TOC' - but you'd have to try hard to be confused about its TOC function; Overground is already a TOC (those nice German folk), and before long, I supect that Boris will (at least try to) do the same with the underground lines. And having a separate term for LU and 'British Rail' would definitely be confusing. -- Andrew If you stand up and be counted, From time to time you may get yourself knocked down.
