Pointless signs - East Midlands Parkway

Not so much a Pointless Sign…

…as a sign that missed its own point.

Pointless sign - Kings Cross

This from a Mr Greg Tingey...

Perhaps not an entirely pointless sign.

Although the branding harks back to an event that took place five years ago.

Is this now an integral part of the much vaunted Olympic Legacy?

Pointless sign - missing the point

This from Huffpo, via Pike...

Someone, please tell me it is real!

UPDATE: This from Pike once more...

Original would appear to be here.

Sadly less funny...

 

For shame!

Pointless signs - Networker misses the point

Obviously not a good day on the South Eastern...

Almost certainly too good to be true, but who cares!

Not so Pointless sign - Dronfield

Pointless signs - York cone shrine

This from @TonyVeitch...

One of my favourite signs. 

 I revisit this little shrine to signdom every so often.

Pointless signs - Derby

This one perhaps misses the point...


Sadly.

Pointless signs - XC misses the point!

Eye salutes the crew of 1V50 (or possibly 1Z50).


Clear, concise and relevant information displayed.

And the technology did not get the better.

Good effort!

Pointless signs - Euston

This from Marshy...


Sadly a disappointing entry, as it contains some genuinely useful, although slightly worrying, information.

Happily, it has a humorous aspect.

Eye hopes the 'missing' signal safely reverts soonest.

Pointless signs - Giant Ants

This with a bowler tip to the genius that is @OctoberJones, via Twitpic...


Obviously Giant Ants are still more prevalent than WiFi on a CrossCountry train.

Pointless signs - LUL misses the point

This from @AMonkster, via Twitter...

A year ago this poster would have qualified as a "Pointless Sign"


Alas no more.

Pointless signs - St Pancras station

This from BA...

One for Eye's 'Pointless Signs, missing the point' collection?

Here at the St Pancras East Midlands ticket barrier, the middle machine's credit card reader doesn't work.

You wouldn't be able to tell by looking at it, however!


Although staff were aware of this problem on Saturday they had not put a notice on the machine because, "we're not allowed to".

Why not?

"Because that way, anyone could come along and put a sign on the machine."

Far better to allow person after person to waste their time on a doomed cause?

Pointless signs - LM goes the extra mile

This just in from BB...

Eye salutes the serious dedication shown by staff at Birmingham Snow Hill!

Pointless signs - Tottenham Court Road

This via the London Underground blog...


Snigger.

Edukation, edukation, edukation

This from AlanG...

Spotted on a bus stop in Leicester Road, Loughborough last weekend whilst there for a very enjoyable Great Central Railway diesel gala.

Pointless signs - South Eastern Trains

Captain Deltic - looking for a way out! Shocker

Via the wonders of MMS this from Captain Deltic...


Help! shouts Captain D.

I'm trapped on the refurbished Platform 6 at Derby and someone has forgotten the Way Out signs.

UPDATE: This from a Mr Malins...

Here it is, but there's a pesky ticket barrier in the way!


All part of the Stagecoach plan to make travel difficult.
