Some pictures from yesterday - posting in "the lighter side" but, really, serious issues / errors.

"EScooters not permitted" shouts the sign - but to me this looks like a picture of an unpowered, so legal on train, scooter!


"Touch the door release" says the sign on the door - point to the door release which says "No touch"


Who chose those absurdly small screen and put them so high up - the only screens in the SAL platform 4 waiting room


For the Portsmouth - Cardiff train at Salisbury - if there's a carriage of 1st, a carriage for cycles and a carriage for 1st, where can standard class passengers without cycles go?

I often see* a large scale photo of Salisbury Cathedral's spire and think 'What that needs is a couple of squiffy display screens mounted 7/8 of the way up the image'.
