Theres no business like train platform business
I saw a very interesting thing on the way home last night. I was standing on platform 4 of Central Station awaiting the train, when I noticed one of the ticket checkers doing a wee jig across the platform to one of her colleagues. Her colleague laughed and then did a little jig back.
A few of my fellow passengers noticed this and turned to watch. The two ticket collectors then walked over to each other, laughed, chatted a bit and after counting to three they did a perfect bit of synchronised tap dancing. It only lasted 30 seconds but it was very impressive. Not sure if this is a new policy by First Scotrail but I think its a great idea. Waiting for the train can be very boring. Having staff performing various variety acts on the platforms would be an excellent way to pass the time and people wouldn't mind the odd delay now and again as they could watch some more soft shoe shuffling.
