My favourite is the PA^▸ (Public Address (broadcast loudspeaker announcements) or Passenger Assist (railway staff providing physical assistance to passengers with mobility issues), depending on context) on the H&C/Circle line platforms at Paddington: "The next westbound train has just departed Paddington" not exactly the next train for people waiting on the platform

Popped in today for lunch at the parcel yard. Stunning building - very impressed 

Perfect - thanks

Seems like a lovely offer from FGW^▸ (First Great Western). I was just curious if these can only be used by the season ticket holder, or whether I'd be able to use them to take the missus on a summer holiday to Cornwall

The terms and conditions say non-transferable I just wasn't sure if that was from the moment they sent the tickets out to me or from when I write a name on them

Cheers.

Thanks for the welcome Been lurking round these parts for far too long without posting

I managed to squeeze into the 7.15 to Swansea. I'm usually all for being given as much detail as possible about the cause of delays, but in this case I think the train manager may have overdone it a bit. He explained the suspected fatality at Iver and then went on to add that due to health and safety regulations we were also delayed due to the train crew needing a break before starting the journey. On a massively overcrowded train full of mildly frustrated passengers, I think probably the first part of the explanation would've sufficed (At least judging by the reactions of the people I was surrounded by )
