![]() ahh good old IE was back in force yesterday - was waiting for the 13:19 galway-heuston in athenry. around 50 others with me including people with buggys. train approached the station as usual and then as it enters the station it switches over to the opposite platform. no warning, no announcement, not even a mention of it from the chap i bought the ticket from 3 mins earlier - and worse there was no need - there was no passing train!!
so we all clambered over the footbridge and boarded. I was one of the first over and met the ticket inspector on my way on ME - you could have told us what platform the train was coming in on - there's people with buggys trying to cross now TI - ahh that's nothing to do with me - not my job (words to that effect) ME - well it's somebodies job TI - well the guy in the station probably didn't know either - it's all controlled from dublin !!! i know it's a normal little story but it's so pathetic - is the signalling that bad that the station master can't tell what platform the train is going to arrive at? or is he just to lazy - either way it's unacceptable - it would take someone in a wheelchair more than 10 mins to get around to the other platform - another accessability violation from IE?? |
