I have seen that often at Paddington.

I can't Bear it.

I can't Bear it.

Do you want me to Peruve it?

what's the reason for that? - I've never managed to figure it out. Is it some sort of device to jolt folk out of a snooze with the word "stop"?
Next thing, they'll be announcing, always possible with electronic booking: "the next station stop is Entwistle, where I'm afraid Mr and Mrs *** will be leaving us"

I was pondering and thought it is logical to the extent that the train may well stop before the Station due to signalling, for example. I'd also mused at arriving at a Station but into a Station with a roof, such as a lot of the Mainline Termini.

Not forgetting that fact beloved of railway pedants the world over - A terminus is not a station. Only stations are stations, and they are not termini.

York is definitely tourist city in normal times, usually gets on my wick.

Indeed, look at the queues outside Betty's and the aimless mobs shuffling through the Shambles.

Hasn't changed that much then from when used to get the underground in the late 60's early 70's though didn't have to put up with mobiles or carefully placed cardboard cups of coffee

Going home from work they tell us to not use the footbridge over the lines until the train has left the platform, for your safety. Going into work they don't say that. Are footbridges safer in the morning than the afternoon somehow?

Just had a quick peek at the amount of freight moved by trains last year and noted that it could easily be replaced by a mere 56 Million 40 tonne Articulated Lorry journeys.
