Grrrrrrrrrrr....

This morning I stood around for about half an hour waiting for a train (they supposedly run every 8 minutes). I just about made it into work on time so from my point of view there was no damage done (my girlfriend was less lucky, she missed her connecting service and was late for work) but it promps an interesting question:

When using public transport, which of the following would you find more useful -

1. On train TV screens showing an endless loop of old news articles and public service advertisements

or...

2. Announcements at the station informing the travelling public why their train hasn't arrived yet and when it might be likely to arrive?

A tricky question I know, but I have a sneaky suspicion most people would prefer their local train operator to spend money on the second option. Actually, I suspect most people would prefer their local train operator to spend money on reliable trains... Guess which one they actually have spent money on?
