Virgin-ing on the ridiculous

Recently, I witnessed some horrific behaviours from disgruntled travellers while enduring the longest journey I’ve ever made to Reading.  Making 3 passes of Penrith Station (the initial pass followed by reverse and forward manoeuvres) before getting off four, and onto five trains at Preston station is tedious by anyone’s standards but signalling and re-routing issues aren’t the fault of the platform staff.  Abusive behaviour directed at them is inappropriate.  But, that said, Virgin platform staff must improve communications and demonstrate greater awareness of the needs of travellers, instead of relying on fellow passengers (like me) to help the less agile!

The train leaving from Platform 3, 4 or 5 is possibly the one you need
