I’m giving a month to the totally unhelpful signage at Richmond before it gets covered up because the staff are totally sick of explaining how wrong it is…
SWR? Follow the Southern Railway sign.
Mildmay Overground? Follow the LMS sign.
District Line? That’s the green UNDERGORUND ?
Tickets for that… not for over a decade now.
As a one-time regular user of Richmond Station, it doesn’t seem to long after they previously “updated” the station to “Art-Deco Condition”, but this looks much better. I was always amused by the 1960s Isle-of-Wight services poster that could just be seen behind the Photo-Me booth with sailings information and trains to Cowes and Newport. I suspect its gone now: it was a bit raggedy. Are the 1980s posters still there in the stairs to Pl.1? I haven’t been that way for some time.
Its ridiculous to claim Palma’s metro is the worst. For an island its a substantial system and also includes main line trains to Manacor and Sa Pobla. Its certainly a huge upgrade on the previous metre gauge line and the far older 3 foot gauge Ferrocarriles de Mallorca – even though the latter along with the interconnected Ferrocarril de Sóller had once formed a network around three times larger at its most where trains could be conveyed from Sóller in the north to Santanyi in the south of the island.
