An old solution to an overcrowding problem?

    You can see the look on peoples faces when they've let a few tubes pass by  in the expectation that the next one won't be as busy and the dawning realization that to get anywhere, you've got to get on and properly fill up the carriage




    Brings back memories. I went on the Northern line in the rush hour from London Bridge. The first train came in and was crowded, but even so everyone piled on (except me). I positioned myself where the doors of the next train would be, but it was also crowded and I decided to wait for the one after . However the people on the platform behind me had other ideas......next thing I knew I was playing sardines inside the carriage.
