3A was shut last week - anyone know why? 3A was closed due to the adverse weather conditions. |

Why would the weather affect platform 3a, the other platforms seemed to cope ok.

Sorry to bump this, but having been to my local station (Stratford), ive noticed that the platform 3 is still very crowded compared to Platform 3a, which is almost empty!

Use IS getting better, and this is helped by the fact that MOST t/ops announce the facility as the train departs Leyton westbound!  |

Simple, the majority of passengers using the Central Line WB at Stratford come from the mainline platforms and go to Plat 3 rather than come through the "front door" and go to Plat 3A. About ten years ago I had to explain to a particularly dim Station Supervisor that holding back the crowd at the ticket barriers would do nothing to alleviate the overcrowding up there. |

Last time I arrived at Platform 3/3A I was in a world of my own and just out of habit went for platform 3 even though I needed to make my way to the ticket machine on the jubilee concourse to pay for my onward journey. Some 20 years of conditioning may take a while to counter...

Some 20 years of conditioning may take a while to counter... Aversion therapy, that's what you need. The next time it happens, slap yourself round the face. It won't happen again. Trust me, I do a 3 to 4 hour drive from North Lincs to London every Monday morning at dawn and have done for the last 11 years. I noticed that I began to nod off at the top of the M11 near Cambridge several years ago and had to try hard to concentrate. I slapped myself round the face once when it happened a few months ago and ever since I actually find myself more alert at the same point in my journey. |
