Excessive dust
Was it the wrong kind, too?
A classic from this morning — Transport for London can come up with some pretty good excuses, but this one’s the best I’ve seen in a while.
According to an article in one of the freesheets I was reading over someone’s shoulder on the way back from work, the platforms were so thick with dust that the drivers couldn’t see them.
The Waterloo and City line has been undergoing some refurbishment work at weekends, which would explain how the dust got there in the first place, but it’s a little bit worrying that the site was left in the state that it was.
More importantly, though, what would Marjorie Dawes have made of it all?
