Earlier today (about quarter to 4) I was on an H&C train that was held outside Hammersmith. After a few minutes, the driver gave an announcement apologising for the delay and adding that another train was about to leave. Shortly afterwards, a train went past in the other direction and we started up again. As we came into platform 3, I noticed that the other platforms were both empty. My immediate thought was that if there were no other trains there, why weren't we sent into one of the other platforms? However, that's not all. There were a number of people waiting on platform 1 which seemed a little strange as a train had just left and also our train (in platform 3) was likely to be the next departure. As I was leaving the station, I noticed that the boards had 'next train platform 1' on them. This begs two questions: Was there a problem preventing the use of platforms 1 & 2 and were the boards incorrectly directing people causing them to miss the previous train?
