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.


Why does that matter? The lift will stop at your floor if going in your
direction. Or the next time it gets to it, again going in your direction.


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.


Surely your students ain't as stupid as you?

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


And waste the time of others in the lift. Good call, that.

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