Quietish day today, the main excitements being two attempted fare-dodgers, stopped by an off-duty policeman (which I managed to miss entirely by being on my lunch break), an old confused bloke who was hanging round the station for ages and who we eventually had to get BTP down to deal with so that they could try to get him home, and the GNER and First Capital Connect services being disrupted, so we had lots of people making their way via the Underground instead. I was on the gateline for the whole of my shift (breaks withstanding), unlike last week where I did platform duties as well, although I did have to take two VIPs down to trains. Oh, and I had to reset a gate after coming back off a quick break - the other CSA had also reset it previously, but only did a soft reset, and when I asked him what the error code on it had been, he said he didn't know because he hadn't looked. Maybe it's just me being a bit odd but I like to know these things, even though half of the error codes still been nothing to me, because it's another piece of information that I can pass on to the supervisor if it turns out to be a recurring problem.

Last and most exciting of all, one of the ticket machines was playing up all day. After it had been fixed it managed to issue a ticket for 27th June... *on* the 27th of June. Unfortunately I didn't find out if it was a one-off or not because I was relieved then, but still, amusing!
