8.35 Silverlink Metro to Stratford
Driver: Due to problems this train MIGHT not be stopping at all stations to Stratford.

Passengers: Eh?

Driver: Due to problems this train MIGHT not be stopping at all stations to Stratford, this train MIGHT not be stopping at all stations to Stratford, once again, this train MIGHT not be stopping at all stations to Stratford.

What the hell?
It might not be stopping at all stations - does that mean it will only be stopping at random stations or that it will stop at all stations up to a certain point ?
It was nice to be forewarned of possible disruption to service but a little clarification would have been nice.

  1. That's beautiful, that really is. I think you win crap train company of the week this week! I've had the train NOT bother stopping somewhere with no warning, but never experienced the "might not be stopping" thing before!

    I don't know if you've seen it, but I found this on going-underground.net. The bit you should read is about half-way down, titled "This Train Is Not Going To Parsons Green".
