irr plains that as trains become st ethe nameboards on at ons become smaller and inrlot be read by speeding
passengers. He might also have remarked on the anonymity of trains, which are apparently all engaged on mystery tours.
It is a disease that afflicts many buses, too. Passengers in a great tourist centre are expected to know the routes and destinations of London buses mainly from their numbers. I have lived in London suburbs all my life but I can still memorise only a handful of bus routes. Pity the ripped-off, browned-off visitor.
Anyone approaching a modern London bus from the rear seems to be expected not to care where it is going. Could that be why so many people don't?
