Re: Most annoying station
Uxbridge has been kind to me once in 16 full networks......... Held outside for platforms to be available, sat on a train ready to depart for over 10 mins while sick was being mopped up.... Arriving on more than one occasion on met/pic needing the a pic/met out and seeing it depart on our approach.... It has to be up there......
That said T4 would be very high on the list due the infamous "comfort break" scenario that cost us a GWR

Moor Park would also have to be pretty high on the list one of the most pointless station there is if the chilterns stopped there might have some purpose.

Re: Most annoying station
Uxbridge was annoying yesterday - is there info about which train is going out next displayed anywhere, or did I just miss it as I was doing the rather odd thing to anyone who isn't a tube challenger of doubling back there? Either way the train that everyone seemed to be waiting to depart on wasn't the first one out, which wasted time. Driver apologised so I assume it went against info that had been given.
Double backs are annoying, but I had a very sexy Preston Road yesterday

Re: Most annoying station
Yes there is, but it's just in front of the barriers. The indicator boards also say "Next Train this platform" I believe.Iain wrote:Uxbridge was annoying yesterday - is there info about which train is going out next displayed anywhere, or did I just miss it as I was doing the rather odd thing to anyone who isn't a tube challenger of doubling back there?

Re: Most annoying station
I guess that's the problem on a challenge, not going outside the barriers!
Another vote for ken o too.

Re: Most annoying station
Wait, you don't have to go outside the barriers to read the indicator.
