Well I can't comment on TfL or Southern, but I thought NRES and the BBC did a pretty good job on Thursday. I should think both were getting a hundred times the normal number of hits, probably even more, and the NRES system only fell over for about an hour or so. (The "Current Service Alterations" page kept going but "Live Arrivals and Departures" froze for a while.) And, as with any operating difficulty on the railway, the problem is more about getting the information from the people on the ground than disseminating it to the passengers. It's no use asking somebody like Ross how long his train is going to be delayed while he's still underneath it with his Junior Hacksaw. -- Joyce Whitchurch, Stalybridge, UK ================================= To which he might have replied, as a driver of my acquaintance did 'A F****** sight quicker if I didn't have to keep answering the radio' Brian Done something similar myself. Major Aircon failure in a data centre and some senior idiot ringing 5 minutes - told him that we'd get sorted a lot quicker if he got off the phone and also that if he didn't stop his onsite muppet poking around inside aircon units he would be held responsible for a few million pounds worth of Disaster Recovery charges ( he also thought two comms cables into one cabinet was adequate DR contingency........ A bit like the government organisation that invoked DR after their backup generators ran out of diesel - and then discovered that their plan didn't work!). G |
