Announcement:
"Platform 2c for the late running 08.38 EMR from Liverpool to Norwich."Class 158.
Platform staff:
"Passenger will find platform 2c if they walk along 2b, then 2a.""
Announcement:
"Passenger for Norwich, use the front two coaches, as the rear two coaches will be detached at Nottingham".
Customer:
"Which are the front two coaches, the ones at the front on arrival or the ones at the front on departure?"
Platform staff:
"There are only two coaches."
Train arrives at 2c (which has platforms on each side) and the doors open on the right(not used?)side of the train.
Passengers disembarking collide with passengers running around to get on.
Doors close on the right (wrong side) close.
Passengers confused and unhappy now that all the doors are closed.
Last scene:
Embarking and disembarking passengers are now all going in the same direction.
Question:
Was this a failed attempt (took at least 10 minutes) to speed up the process of getting on and off by getting the passengers to get off on one side and get on the other side?
I was waiting for the Northern Hope Valley stopper on the similar platformed (6c) 7.
