Why don’t trains operate like airports? Like surely you should know your gate like a week before. And there should be a little waiting area for each gate https://t.co/KsICqYEl3k

“Trains won’t show on board within 3 minutes of departure”
‘So which train is that I can see over at the platform?’ – “IT’S A SECRET! DON’T RUSH!”

OH fuck this right off. The barriers and platforms at Kings Cross are nowhere near far enough apart to do this. They do this on the underground/Elizabeth line where it does take you 4+ mins to get down to platform level and it would risk a crush. But this is stacks of time at KX https://t.co/KIRqE0FLgc

I mean at Euston most trains don’t show boarding until 10 minutes after scheduled departure times so at least there’s some ambition over at Kings Cross https://t.co/3mh5KkEteT

The absolute cheek of Kings Cross saying the last tannoy announcement will be four minutes prior to departure when that’s also when they do the first tannoy announcement https://t.co/xH9ltoVD6Y

‘Quiet Bat People’ thought in action. Made by people who believe that percieved punctuality is better than running realistic delivery. https://t.co/NFCqQBqfCm

Yet another reason I forego long distance train travel in favour of driving. I wish it wasn’t the case! https://t.co/6oj7nrEj4P

This is the same station that encourages thousands of absolute virgins to descend upon the station every year on 1st September to board an imaginary train from an imaginary platform to an imaginary school. Causing huge inconvenience to actual commuters https://t.co/vq106U3LQd

If trains ran every five minutes, this would be reasonable. As it stands, it is not. I call on @nationalrailenq to reconsider. https://t.co/YPeTz3gxNR
