I arrive at 1230 to find 3 Car 22k DMU waiting platform 3 as per departure board.
However the train information shows Connolly as Destination.
The lights (White & Red) at front and rear are set for train going to Connolly!!!
The driver arrives at exactly one minute before departure - i.e. 1304 - and the train departs at 1306.
It is surely unacceptable that a train is showing incorrect information on its destination boards that must confuse some passengers.
Does anyone know when a driver is due to 'man' his/her train?
Train systems must be checked from a H & S perspective, etc.
All of this must take more than 1/2 minutes?
