Sunday afternoon at Wembley Park station. First it was Uxbridge train
next then Watford. Then it went back to Uxbridge and then it was
Watford again. Then Uxbridge. And then Watford. And then in perfect
comedy timing an Amersham train rolled in.

Judging by the lack of intelligence you have displayed in many other
posts; it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if you were looking at
the bottom line of a dot-matrix display, alternating between the 2nd &
3rd trains - whilst totally failing to notice the top line displaying '1
Amersham'.


I hate to say it, but I saw a very similar thing happen between about 1540
and 1555 at Wembley Park on Sunday afternoon.

A Watford Train was just departing,
train 2 shown as fast Amersham, within 5 mins:
train 3 shown as Uxbridge, within 5-10 mins:

As expected, the Amersham went to train 1, and the Uxbridge to train 2,
both now "within 5 mins".
After 10 minutes, the Uxbridge train was train 1, still within 5 mins,
Watford was train 2 and the Amersham was train 3, both also due within 5
mins.

The first train in about 5 minutes later, was indeed the Uxbridge, though I
think that the Amersham and Watford trains had swopped places again.
