...no, not stiking staff, the wrong kind of snow or indeed any kind of disruption. As much as I find that list frustrating my BIGGEST gripe is when ticket inspectors write on tickets. WHY???
At about 18.54 the 19.03 to Birmingham is advertised to depart from Platform 1 (Euston if you're not with me). The mad rush across the concourse ensues (largely because the 19.00 to Macnchester has also just been announced). And what am I greeted with at the platform entrence, yes, you've guessed it. Now, I have no problem with showing my ticket but of course, that wasn't enough. I have some bags so 'free' hands were at a premium tonight and the guy wants me to take the ticket out of its wallet and scribble on it. For no reason that I can understand at all. What does it prove? And all it does it p*** off thos behind me who have to break stride, walk in to the back of each other etc. etc.
Can one of you experts please tell me why this is needed? I see it all the time and even if I have my hands free there'll be somebody in front of me who hasn't.
