I went from Warminster to Salisbury and back today - both ways on SWT.
On arrival at Salisbury, there was a young lady in front of me, by the door, on her mobile telling someone she had got on the wrong train - and how long would it take to get from Salisbury to Bristol.
On the return, when an announcement was made that "this train is for Bristol....." - a lady sitting opposite leapt to her feet and started hammering with both fists on the doors at the front of the coach (Isolated as behind driver's cab). Luckily the external door was open and a rail man opened the door to hear her say "isn't this the Andover train ?".
The stations all have excellent departure boards, there are (too many ?) announcements and the SWT trains have scrolling destination displays in each coach.
How do these people manage it ????
