Oh Dear, I shouldn't laugh but that is really funny.
No wonder they lost their jobs, daft beggers.

I think we get this at many stations..   I have had to walk to the front of a train in order to get off..

The length issue is understandable - need for increased capacity and some stops on the line don't have long enough platforms. The too wide is simply too daft for words. I suspect the only reason we don't get it here is because we are hardly ever replace rolling stock and when we do the contract goes to the cheapest. I am pleased to say that I hope to never take another rail journey.

I travelled to Devon by train a few months back..   Excellent .. only one change at Reading.. Help is there if you need it.. 
 I prefer train travel to road.. when doing long distance..
