Whilst at Stratford the other day, I picked up a seemingly helpful leaflet, Which Platform for my train from Stratford?
(It features what looks like a Mark 3 coach in pre-NSE BR livery, which is an interesting throwback)
Of course, such a leaflet is highly desirable; is there a more confusing platform numbering system anywhere else?
However, it's full of mistakes. Misspelt station names (Hatfield Peveral, Stanstead Mountfitchet?); non existent stations (Lea Bridge Road), bad advice on platforms (Liverpool St platform 9, no mention of TFL Rail's own service from 5: Shenfield on TFL rail only, no fast trains?))....and no mention at all of the DLR. Nor of platform 10A and its pre-0900 services.
In fact the unhelpfulness of the leaflet is parallelled only by the uselessness of the map on the National Rail website!
