Hi,
Who is responsible for updating the arrivals / departures boards on platforms? Is it the TOC?
I ask as I commute daily between Motherwell and Waverley and when returning from Platform 8E at Waverley I always check the platform board to see where 1st Class is. I like to sit in the Quiet Zone (Coach F on XC) so know that this is at the opposite end from 1st Class. With XC the train is not always facing the same direction so this board gives good guidance on where passengers should go.
The board will read "1st Class is at front" or "1st class at rear" however often the train arrives and the board will have been incorrect, resulting in passengers having to move to find the correct coach.
It is not a big deal, but it is irritating. If the TOC (or whoever) is putting up information it should be correct.
