Putting the carriages in the right order seems like a no-brainer to me -
someone in LU who understands the numbering just had to number the
carriages from one to twenty and put a big printed number inside the
window at the Bank end of every carriage. Trying to get the contractors to
understand the five-digit numbers was idiotic.


Yes, I thought that as well. They did seem to be making it harder than it
need be.
