some months ago southwest trains started a refurbishment program of their commuter trains. this involved new rolling stock but also old trains were painted, given new upholstery and - here's the good bit - many of the trains now have wider doors. the aim was that as people could get on or off the train 2 at a time it would be quicker and trains would run on time (yeah right)
so, how's it faring? well, it would work in principle but they forget to factor in the utter stupidity of the general public.
mostly people on the platform stand in front of the train doors restricting the passage of those trying to get off the train. this results in only one person at a time being able to get off the train. so, basically it's a complete waste of time and money.
am i turning into an old moaner or am i right?
