An announcement on the platform of Tunbridge Wells railway station sets me thinking: "The next train at this platform is not for customer use." It is not so much pedantry as an over active imagination that allows me to occupy my mind with alternative uses to which customers (such a strange word to apply to passengers particularly as it is so frequently ridiculed) could put a train.
