.....Bottled water ;D In a rather pathetic PR stunt for the past few days Metromess have been giving away free bottles of water at a Zone 1 station. At least they think of customers, when your delayed by all their asset and infrastructure failures. i60.photobucket.com/albums/h20/c5pictures/DSC00093.jpg |

Oh, so that's who was trying to thrust them in our faces all day. I walked past on principle. As with the other lot who were also giving away water - as long as you bought a substandard.

Grrr......I wanted to post that first!!! Indeed I was very surprised whilst at Earls Court yesterday evening, I noticed an empty bottle on the floor with Metronet on it. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me!!! Nice bit of blurb about the tube on the back. Very nice  |

What's the difference between asset and infrastructure? Assets are 'liquid'. The infrastructure is the other stuff... |

What's the difference between asset and infrastructure? Infrastructure is that which is needed to do the job. An asset is something that is worth money and can be sold. A company's assets include its infrastructure and the infrastructure is a part of the company's assets. What this means is that it's not a difference between one and the other. The terms are applicable to differenct activities. "Infrastructure" relates to operations and engineering. "Assets" relates to finance. |

Call me naive, but maybe giving out free water can reduce the number of people feeling ill on a train and pulling the emergency alarm, thus reducing delays?
