Having missed yet another connecting service having been held "whilst a platform becomes available" at Reading I have to ask a question.
Given they now have more platforms, and the know the times trains are due to arrive why on Earth do they then need to make trains wait until a platform becomes available? It defies all logic, especially as the preceding service to arrive at the platform we used had left 15 minutes previously. So what exactly were we waiting for?
Was it Godot? Was it a sign from whatever Divine Being you may believe in? I don't really know.
I do know that it wasn't for a platform to become available, as it already was.
I also ow I won't be asking FGW to sort out any drinking parties in a brewery in the near future as that would go horribly wrong. At best they'd make me wait for a pointless reason.
I'm off now to ponder the issue of drunken logic, having seen a rather worse for wear couple being directed to the appropriate platform for their train 3 times now, but they have returned once more to platform 9 as that's where they always get their train from...
