Pointless signs - Shoeburyness

This from Strawbrick…

This beauty is to be found at Shoeburyness Station car park

Utterly pointless!

Pointless signs - East Midlands Parkway

Not so much a Pointless Sign…

…as a sign that missed its own point.

Pointless signs - Emergency Electrification!

A welcome return for Eye's occasional series of Pointless Signs!

This from Steady as She Goes…

Emergency electrification?

Has someone just discovered 'the Reading area' needs to be juiced?

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 signs - St Erth

This from Harry the Voice...

Pictured at St Erth today.

Hmmm... 'regularly patrol', although on an infrequent basis?

Perchance a case of Optimism Bias?

Pointless signs - Pwllheli

This from Wheaty...

Pointless signs - A most unhelpful timetable at Pwllheli station. Who employs these people?🙄 pic.twitter.com/rc63uMyyU9

Keep 'em coming!

Pointless signs - Newark

This from a Mr InterCity Swift..

A contribution for your pointless signs series.

Or should that be pontless signs?



It's been there for a couple of years now.

Pointless signs - Halifax

With the media pack descending on Halifax for the launch of the Tory manifesto Eye has received this:

Coming next: "Remember to breathe".

Pointless signs - Duffield

This from a Mr Highbrow...

The ticket machine was relocated to the front of the station several years ago.

Pointless signs - Northallerton

This courtesy of 'BA'...

So much thought, so little point!

Pointless signs - Swindon

This from @paulrgentleman...

Pointless sign? 

Or health and safety stating the bleedin' obvious!

Pointless signs - Reading

@FGW Reading Plat 8 - should these be pointing At THE TRAINS! 1. to dismount from a horse, descend from a vehicle pic.twitter.com/WnIieLecJ4

Pointless signs - Wetherspoons

This from a Mr Whitley...

Spotted in a Wetherspoons' loo..

Has Mr Bowker been reminiscing over a few beers?

UPDATE: This from Deep Stoat's Brother...

Reminiscing or predicting?

I give unto you the Office of Passenger Rail Services!

SRA for short, obviously.

Pointless signs - Slough

Pointless sign - Northern 153

This from Northern Spirit...

This "Emergency Door Release" sticker on a Northern Rail Class 153 says the emergency handle is to the right (if looking at the arrow). 

It is actually to the left.

Pointless signs - First Hull Trains

This from a Ms High Society...

I find myself feeling a bit sorry for any elderly or disabled men who, presumably, have to fend for themselves.

First for inclusion?

Pointless signs - Peterborough

This from Percy Kilometer...

Platform 2 (London end) yesterday.

What came to an end at 23.59 on November 13 2009?

4 years, 1 month and 5 days ago.... and counting.

Seems a long time to get the ladders out?

Pointless signs - East Croydon

This from Pedantic of Purley... 

Southern is to be commended for its helpful and up-to-date signage at the bottom of the the steps of the overbridge.

Unfortunately the clear helpful signage is contradicted by another sign halfway up the steps.

Not so much pointless as incorrect and potentially dangerous causing people to stop suddenly on the staircase or, worse still, suddenly turn around.

Pointless signs - Balcombe

This from Prof Bunsen Honeydew...
 
Welcome to Gatwick Airport!

Seen in the Balcombe up platform bus shelter early Saturday morning.

Pointless signs - Oxford

This from a Mrs Honeyman...

Spotted at the Upper Crust, Oxford on Saturday.

Oh dear - no doubt someone will be picking up their cards over this!
