What is it with passengers on the platform of a train station that drives them to start walking alongside the train as soon as it comes in rather than waiting for it to stop and getting on at the nearest door? Do they think it's like a bus with one entrance at the front? As long as I have the normall rolling stock on my commute trains I know where there door will be when it stops to within a metre and usually end up being the first or second on. Others who catch the train as regularly as me stand at the same point but then do the walking thing. It's even more strange in the morning as the first 1.5 carriages of the 5 are First Class (no idea why they have so much First Class on a train that goes from Cardiff to Bristol and back as I doubt anyone is buying a First Class ticket).

Maybe they're looking at how full the train is in different carriages and deciding where to sit that day?

Bit hard if you walk along in time with the first carriage that arrives

I hardly ever use trains. I sort of wait for it to stop, and then see if I'm walking into a suitable carriage that's in my class, and not too crowded. But I'd probably be one of the walkers that annoys you, as I don't really know what's going on or what the rules are

They don't annoy me, I just can't work out why you would walk along in time with the front of the train when it basically fills the length of the platform when it finally stops but a significant proportion of those waiting for any train do it so it must be some kind of psychological response.

A crap jig saw is a power tool used to cut logs.

Going Quiet (Maybe)
Just posting as I'm not "flouncing", just might or might not be posting as frequently for a bit. Decided I'm fed up with UK so time to head off cycle touring. Just booked ferry for tomorrow. I'm sure I will be reading/posting but depends on how electricity goes (camping). No idea how long, no idea where (after the ferry arrival port).
