How does one ring through to a station? A year or so ago, I entrained at Reading with only one glove[*]. Knowing I'd had two very little time ago, I reckoned I must have dropped one on the platform. I spent quite a lot of time attempting to work out how to call Reading and ask someone to put it somewhere safely for me, but everyone I spoke to said it wasn't possible to do call to a station. They're all about the centralised offices.
[*] While one glove is not exactly an insurmountable loss, it was half of a pair of almost brand new cycling gloves.
Actually my gripe with woolly gloves on bikes is that they aren't very good at being windproof!
Helpful despatchers are, well, helpful. I didn't really meet any. (The chap at Ealing who sent me off to Paddington actually seemed genuinely helpful and concerned; I think his advice was sound even though it didn't help at all in the event.)
