Title: Southern weekend travellers having to run to get a seat? Post by: Brucey on May 09, 2016, 20:28:17 Video of yesterday evening at Brighton station: https://twitter.com/timgreenway/status/729391770593861632
One of the problems with holding passengers on the concourse until closer to the departure time. Title: Re: Southern weekend travellers having to run to get a seat? Post by: ChrisB on May 09, 2016, 20:43:07 Happens in quite a lot of popular places. Euston, Waterloo

I've noticed that Paddington generally seems to be a little calmer than some of the other London termini - Euston is one that always sticks in my mind as being particularly competitive to be first past the ticket barrier Title: Re: Southern weekend travellers having to run to get a seat?

I've noticed that Paddington generally seems to be a little calmer than some of the other London termini - Euston is one that always sticks in my mind as being particularly competitive to be first past the ticket barrier I'd agree with that, but I'm not sure that any main station in the rush hour is a "popular" place to be........people are generally there through necessity, not choice! :) Title: Re: Southern weekend travellers having to run to get a seat? Post by: eightf48544 on June 07, 2016, 14:50:12 Paddington, of course, has the added attraction of Platforms 13 and 14
Title: Re: Southern weekend travellers having to run to get a seat? Post by: Oxonhutch on June 07, 2016, 15:23:15 When I looked yesterday, platform 13 was a lot shorter - a lot shorter!
It looks like the link-up with platform 12 to make one long one for the new IEPs is about to come to fruition. Title: Re: Southern weekend travellers having to run to get a seat? Post by: IndustryInsider on June 07, 2016, 16:45:59 Yes that's right. 3-car length whilst the modifications take place.
