How patronising': rail bosses face anger over plan to hide train departure times
Briefly

A new trial scheme at King's Cross aims to prevent last-minute dashes for trains by removing departure information from boards just three minutes before trains leave. Network Rail claims this measure will enhance safety and ensure on-time departures. However, passengers have expressed outrage and frustration, asserting their need for adequate information to make informed decisions about catching their trains. Critics argue this approach might instead result in more chaos and rushing, highlighting the late timing of platform announcements and the potential detrimental impacts on travel efficiency.
