I sometimes wonder about the common sense of train announcements. Sure; mistakes happen owing to human error and the like. But when you're waiting for a train that has been delayed; it would be great if at least they could display where it is going to when it arrives. I nearly got caught out. Sometimes the arrival boards are so up to date that they don't take into account that the train has been delayed and assumes that it has already departed. Other boards don't say anything at all other than this display is not working properly; which is another way of saying we have no idea if a train is due to turn up at all. And then there are the announcements. When they announce that the train is approaching; they mean that the train has just left the previous station. When they announce that the train is here; you need to start looking for the blind folk who have started to poke their cane about to try and find the non-existent train. And when they announce a platform alteration; you need to make sure you have your best running shoes on in order to catch that train.
