I don't understand this. Are people really too ****ing stupid to
understand announcements like "passengers for Some Station must travel
in the front four carriages"? Cos those work just fine elsewhere on the
rail network.

With ungangwayed 4-car units it's not always obvious which one you
are in without getting out and having a look. I've even been on an
8-car (double 4-car) unit with a through gangway which was about to
arrive at a splitting station and just to confuse everyone they'd
already locked and closed the gangway.

I presume that is why the PIS on some 377s says which coach one is in.
