"LOOKING FOR A LATER TRAIN? If your service departs after midnight it may appear at the beginning of the next day."

Well ... so it should if it's scheduled after midnight.   "Let's attach the 00:30 to the 23:30 so we can get home early" doesn't seem like a good idea.

[Brucey]

Although it seems logical to think this, the new "fares day" starts at 02:30 which could make some people think those services may be included at the end of the timetable, rather than the start.

It is a bit like the TV Guides where the new day starts at 6am.  However in this case I think Grahame was suggesting it read as though the 00:30 was physically coupled to the 23:30.

Ah ... it was the computer programmer in me thinking "what a logically silly thing to say".  Of course trains which leave after midnight are in the new day ... that's when time goes back to zero after all!    I guess I saw it along the same lines as "this door to be kept shut at all times" [so why is it a door rather than a wall] and "this door is alarmed" ["who frightened it?"].  It was - you'll note - a "lighter side" post

In all seriousness though, Someone like me who has an ASD (Autistic Spectrum Disorder). You may read that sign and not pass through the door when they need to, because it says must be kept shut. (For those not in the know, people with ASD take things very literally!)

An example would be the Disabled Toilet on Platform 3 at BRI^» (Bristol Temple Meads - next trains). Has the exact above sign... How are you ment to get into the toilet? Air vent anyone

[Mookiemoo]

the ones the get me are

"Massive rug sale"  - how big does a rug have to be to be massive

"Keep clear.  Door in constant use"  or "Keep clear.  Door in use continually" - neither of those are mathematically correct

And in coventry city centre there is a sign for "Alternative Toilets" - are these ones that play indie music?
