Oh dear....

I wonder what will happen to whoever took the wrong measurements. What will happen now to the new trains?

I read something about it the other day. Apparently they are going to have to spend a fortune chipping the edges off the platforms!

I admit I laughed.

DH works in public transport and laughed his head off at this.
They can't even pass each other going in opposite directions! Sadly, the buck has to stop somewhere and human error has drastic consequences, so no doubt this will cost someone their job. What a cock up!

I hadn't even thought about them passing each other. So 'adjusting' the platforms will be pointless anyway? I read that they've already done 300 of them...
