I remember a pause for a minute's silence announced in the upper concourse of a train station (UK) last year. It was disconcertingly comedic as the people walking in either on the phone or with a friend were very confused at why everyone inside was standing motionless and glaring at them.
I think I was working in that station on that day, because I have a very similar anecdote. Actually someone came to buy a ticket, and was annoyed because they thought they might miss their train having to wait for the minute's silence to end. Not even the most callous passenger I've come across either.
Where did you see that? I'm in the UK, can't remember exactly which station but pretty sure it was a London station with underground
In the north! Probably not the same station then.
