20 Minutes interchange

Change at Charing Cross

Change at Charing Cross

After yesterday’s scribbled on signage, we found another subtle – but possibly more important example today.

With the Bakerloo & Northern Line not stopping at Embankment station, signs are advising people to walk to Charing Cross from Embankment instead to pick up services there. What isn’t clear though is that they’ve temporarily made the two stations an official Out of Station Interchange (OSI) as long as that is, you don’t spend more than 20 minutes dithering about between the two stations to make the change.

Something that perhaps got missed off the official poster, so someone has scribbled it on, in biro as an afterthought.

For a complete list of OSI’s there’s a list on the excellent Oyster-Rail page.
