I see that apart from the usual hanging flower baskets, Southfields has remained untouched for the tennis this year.
No green platform, no TV screens showing live coverage, no 'larger than life' gimmicks and no adverts on the embankments opposite the platforms - in fact the embankments have just been left as an overgrown wilderness.
Has someone overlooked the usual chance to brighten up the station for the visiting masses?

Maybe they couldn't get anyone to sponsor it? Wasn't it American Express last year?

What? No Parasols on the platform and roped/fenced off area?
And no umpire supervising egress on a high chair?
;D

{enter cynic mode  } What no refusal to curtail hopelessly late trains at Parsons Green, no diverting the whole Olympia service to Wimbledon, no turing everything at Dagenham and Barking to maintain the west end branches - forget Upminster. No being held for eternity whilst staion staff decide they'd like to have a train in the platform at all times for passengers to walk straight onto (stuff the timed paths through Earl's Court ) .... Always considering our bread and butter daily passengers ...... { exit cynic mode } ..... hussha my keyboard !!!  Just hope I'm on Richmond's all week !!! ;D |

EDIT: Oh yeah, and as an Earls Court driver, for now, I have more chance of meeting the Pope than not going to Wimledon over the next two weeks  ;D ;D ;D Well, every cloud has a silver lining! At least you get to meet some very nice new district line train ops on their way home! Nice to finally put a face to the name btw! ;D |
