Just read on GWR twitter feed a formal complaint that a TM has not upheld today's 2 minute silence, stating it has caused mass offence and the TM should be castigated for it.
What do you think about this?
I see it's very impractical to expect a silence to be held on a running train, especially if it coincides with a station call. And even if not, it is easy to forget that it is 11 o'clock.
On stations it is easier, and announcements were suspended nationwide for 5 minutes, but even then if a train is due to depart between 10.59 - 11.03, I don't think it should be stopped.
