I'm glad I wasn't there. I'd just have walked through the whole charade and complained to everyone possible. Might have deliberately missed a train to make a point.

Although the mircle is how they got all those "londoners" to take part in the 1st place. Maybe they were paid !!!

I wouldn't have minded it as much as it wasn't causing as much of an obstruction as the London one, but would still have complained about it.

Maybe I'm just a boring old fart, but Rail Stations are not theatres.

Really arn't they, some of the "performances" i've seen at stations over the years, makes me wonder.

Oh you spoilsport! If anything, I'd have joined it at the sidelines. It's a bit of fun, and something to liven up the day. And it's not if though it got in the way of important things! Obviously management et al were happy for it to happen, so I wouldn't see the point in complaining etc.

Great idea. Anyone moaning has just descended to new levels of grumpiness. Even worse than me! That's something ;).

Well everyone at Liverpool St seemed to enjoy it. Only takes one I guess (or in this case 2) ;)

My problem is that it blocked off access to platforms, announcements and, by the looks of things, ability to look at the departure boards. People could quite easily miss their train.

Seriously some of you are actually complaining about it???
It's fun yeah it may have caused a few problems but the point is it's a major change from the everyday bussle and it gives the passengers something to think about.
Seriously you guys step outside the station and take a breath of fresh air lol

Personally, I feel it's just a bit of fun (although presumably not for T-Mobile! :lol:). Most people seemed to really enjoy it, demonstrated by the number of people watching from the balconies. It must have been an amazing spectacle - very out of the ordinary!

Also, watch out for AMT at 1:37! :lol:

If I missed my train coz of a bunch of ****s dancing like morons then I most certainly would not be happy.

In the cab with the paper
At the risk of breaking the spell, some or all of it was actually filmed overnight. My friends at AMT told me that they and the other businesses were instructed to stay open throughout the night to give the appearance that it was daytime, plus the filming disturbed one of our night drivers who was trying to sleep in the P10 messroom.

No-one missed their trains and no-one was inconvenienced.

One thing I noticed about it was that it says it was at 11:00, however, one of the main A4 posters I have seen at LU stations have the clock at 10:47..
