I travel to work with one of the shitty train companies that operate in the UK. Part of my shitty journey is travelled on a shitty Branch line which runs into a major Junction station. At that station the Branch line is served by a separate platform, where there used to be a bus-stop-type shelter for waiting in for the train. It wasn't pretty, or warm, but it kept you dry.
Stupid question but, if you can't shelter on the platform, why don' you shelter in the station? Or on another platform. Is platform 11 shelter is our of order, i guess there are shelters on platform 10, 9, 8, ... ?
This is the British rail system - the 6 o'clock train can get in anytime between 5:50 and tomorrow. And there will be a thousand people fighting over three seats. And two of those seats will be first class.
