The following are all the details that were missed out in your earlier
posts on the subject

Well , since they were standing all of 10 foot from the driving cab
and since they were chatting to the driver and since I assume they're
not colourblind and can tell the difference between a red and green
signal, one would have hoped one of them might have thought , just for
a millisecond, "hey , shouldn't we tell the passengers this train is
going first?". But lets face it , who am I kidding. This is LU staff ,
this is Britain today. Great it isn't.

Which bit of the following from a previous post confused you:

"Not once did the *FOUR* staff at the end of the
platform including the bloke in the cabin say a damn thing to anyone
even though the train had been sitting there with its doors open
longer than us and they must've known since I saw them chatting to its
driver. "

?

Note the last 4 words in case you still don't get it.

Anyway , this is getting nowhere. All I see is people picking me up on
details , no one explaining why the staff were so bloody unhelpful.
Probably because there was no good reason - they just couldn't be
arsed.

I have already asked you (but don't think you had answered). Did the
train that you were on have an Operator on? Was the cab live (ie, if
you could see were the orange lights on on the side of the train).

The Train Op on the train that you were on should have really made a
PA. If there wasn't one then another could have made the PA, however
some are reluctant to "touch" someone else's train in case they get
blamed for breaking it, such is the politics involved in something so
simple. Where I used to work was a bit like Arnos Grove, but as it was
more localised the information flow was much better.

Yup. He drove us there. Maybe he legged it when we arrived, I didn't
see.
