Title: How do I contact the guardon? SWT spelling error.
Post by: Brucey on March 22, 2013, 22:18:06
South West Trains have recently put up a new poster at least once in every carriage of their trains (so we're looking at 1000+ of these being printed) titled "Train services in London and South East".  However, I don't think they checked it for typos.

"There is a guardon on all our trains"

"CCTV is in operationon all our trains"

Unfortunately, I attempted to take a photograph while alighting and it came out blurry :-X

I can't imagine how many (or should I say how few) people must have checked this poster before going to print, especially considering the number of them that were printed.   ::) :(

There was a tweet by BTP the other day (Will upload pic if anyone likes?) That was tweeted to @se_railway which isn't run by a person AIUI?

Which seemed to be asking for a clarification of details to the BTP via Twitter or their 0800 number. I strongly suspect if the service was being advertised as 13 minutes late that the BTP didn't need any further clarification. ::) :o :P

Did you notice on the Private Eye photo that the 'guardon' can give you 'infomation' too?   ;D  :D

Quite worrying that this was produced. Plain and simple carelessness!

And they didn't bother ending that first sentence with a full stop.

I think Railway Eye would like to think it was as incisive as the private one (thanks BNM   :D ).
