A Problem At Barking Station

Yesterday, I had a small problem at Barking station, about getting my train back to the centre.

This is what I wrote to London Underground.

I visited Barking and had arrived on an H&C. So when I went back, the signs directed me to the sane platform, but there was no information there and no trains. So in the end I gave up and walked to the Westbound District Line platform, where I found a distressed elderly lady looking for a train to Paddington. Eventually, I shepherded her on a District Line train and I found a H&C at West Ham. The lady went off to try her luck on the Jubilee Line.

Not only was there no signs to the H&C and no trains, but there were no staff on the platform directing people to the trains that were running.

It wasn’t the standard I usually get at Dalston Junction or Barbican say!

It is very unusual that this happens on the Underground.
