Tue, 15 Aug 2017, Recliner remarked: I was talking in general, even when people have walked past big red buffers at a terminus, a surprising number are then confused about which way it'll depart. And surprisingly often, such as at Kings Cross platform 9 this morning, the driver apparently doesn't even realise the big red buffers mean "stop before colliding with me". -- Roland Perry |
