"what alternatives can you suggest"

smallest footprint double decker twin buggies...


As far as side by side ultra wide twin buggies are concerned,
I'd presume they'd need to be collapsed to fit through a train door...???

So is it not far more good sense and considerate
to concertina one down before entering the packed cramped busy platform stream of exiting travellers
[with or without cycles],
rather than barging through and forcing impossible bottlenecks.
It seemed there were enough family members to carry twins and collapsed pram onto the platform,
rather than at the last second before boarding the train.

At it's worse comedic extreme, travellers yesterday could have faced a choice of either falling under the stationary train,
or tumbling over the fence into a river...

Maybe I should have positioned myself on the footbridge
and videoed for potential youtube fail classic...????

But I was in too much hurry to hang around this farce, so guess the train ticket inspector
must have sorted it out effectively...

[more proof of why UK railways should not run driver only trains...!!!]
