Good grief. The idea is you only stop the lift if it is going in your
direction.

How do you know which direction the lift is going it's in a shaft ?

Even you can't be that stupid? But perhaps you can.

When the lift was upgraded a few years ago they did install an arrow display
to show which direction and which was the next floor.
But with studetns in and outside the lift you had little idea which direction it might go in after you hit the button, even once inside.

Teh option was to just get in (with the trolly) and see what happens.

Do you happen to know why there are close and open buttons on the central line tube train doors ?
