I am always bemused by this sign on Platform 1 at Weston Super Mare.
"Should you require any assistance... please feel free to ask a member of staff... on Platform 2"
In other words - if you need any help getting up these stairs, please go up the stairs, over the bridge, down another flight of stairs, find a member of staff and ask them to help you. Er.

Pointless, and very frustrating for anyone with mobility issues. Couldn't they have provided a number you could ring from your mobile, to call for assistance?  |

This used to be the case at Chippenham for a while. If you needed to access the Platforms via step free access, you'd need to be taken across the track on a crossing escorted by staff member. Where we the staff members to be found?? In the office on the Island Platforms if the ticket office was closed...   |

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

I do not work for FGW▸ and posts should not be assumed and do not imply they are statements, unless explicitly stated that they are, from any TOC▸ including First Great Western.

And you say I need to get out more... Ooh, you cheeky monkey trout!  Thanks: I merely thought it was an amusing coincidence, both of the original pictures appearing on the Coffee Shop forum at much the same time. |
