I catch these trains every day. People are confused by the warning about a "slight delay" from the driver as we approach the stations. I occasionally say "GPS doors" and everyone who was previously confused instantly adopts a "seriously?!" face. I have NO idea how such a knuckle-headed design flaw can make it all the way through design and build with even minimally aware designers and engineers in charge.



Reinforces every stereotype I have about British Engineering(tm), precision watch gears cut with a hacksaw. 400 Hp steam powered lawn mowers. Jaguars.



thank you.
