The Master Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Is it just me who finds it tragic that ScotRail have produced a leaflet telling people what to do if the train they're on is longer than the platform? http://www.scotrail.co.uk/sites/default/files/documents/Longer_trains_flyer_-_FINAL_for_web.pdf 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People is Scotland are used to trains fitting platforms. First time for selective door opening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money well spent IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time for selective door opening. This'll be about those new ones on the Ayrshire/Gourock line I take it? Grand Central trains back to Yorkshire from London send staff through the train at Pontefract to get you up to the front 4 coaches, platform is too short for the train. I think Barassie can only fit in 6 coaches and there's now 7 coach sets going about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 They announce that on the trains too. I understand them announcing it on the train, but all it needs is "This train will be longer than the platform; if you're in the rear x carriages, please make your way forward". Do people really need a leaflet with diagrams that shows them what to do? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup especially mums with buggies and anyone disabled as passage between carriages is narrow and would be stuck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyblair Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I've just spent a couple of minutes trying to find a pair of pj bottoms I put on my bed and I already had them on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting older every day really is a bitch, I forget things as well and I'm only 18. Doesn't bode well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Cuddy Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I've just spent a couple of minutes trying to find a pair of pj bottoms I put on my bed and I already had them on. You're not alone. I've walked into my kitchen a couple of times today and forgotten why I was there. One time when I walked in, I realised it was actually the bathroom I'd gotten up for and had to walk back out again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One time when I walked in, I realised it was actually the bathroom I'd gotten up for and had to walk back out again. I do that a lot. I get up to go to a room, then arrive, get very briefly distracted and forget why I was there, leave and then realise 20 minutes later why I'd left the original room in the first place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most people get that but to forget you had put on your pj's then try to find them was just plain bizarre. When I woke up this morning the first thing I checked was that I still had them on 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I woke up this morning the first thing I checked was that I still had them on I once spent an hour looking for my glasses because I couldn't find them and I needed to wear them whilst driving. I was wearing them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've spent the last 30 minutes wondering and starting to worry why I had less money in my back pocket than I thought I had. It was while I was putting my tea in the oven, I remembered I'd banked the "missing" money earlier this afternoon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
