This is a Metrolink passenger announcement
posted Tuesday, 6 December 2005
"While most services are operating normally, some passengers may have to wait, up to, 12 minutes. Thank you for your patience".
First of all I hear this message almost every day, so surely "normally" is when there are delays. Secondly, the statement is totally misleading. They mean you might have to wait 12 minutes to see a tram. That is totally different from actually being able to squeeze on to one. On the worst days one can easily fail to get on three or four trams before finally getting lucky!
Then again, some days a tram arrives just after I do and there's plenty of room. That's why there are delays elsewhere on the system!
And I'm young and slender. How fat elderly people are supposed to get on I don't know!

Interesting. Veeeery interesting. One day you might be fat and elderly so
be nice and give people room if you can. Maybe one day they'll give you
room. I mean, when you're elderly ... they'll be dead.
