Due to severe over-crowding on the Overground - the trains stupidly

the rush-hour.

As witnessed everyday - but thank fully not experienced - at
Kensington Olympia (and numerous other stations on TfL's new
Overground routes) - at rush-hour - these trains largely devoid of
seating - are so grossly over-crowded as to be well beyond safe
capacity - thereby necessitating specially recruited Japanese platform
staff to push every last commuter through the doors into the grossly
over-crowded carriages.

They are due to begin work on Friday with the morning rush-hour.


Yup, on 1 April.


Ha, yes, I should have spotted this - but it's rather early. Well, enjoy
your chuckles CJB - perhaps you're not such a total Miseryguts after all.


TfL's simultaneous announcement that the District Olympia service is
unnecessary was already a pretty certain sign that CJB's post is complete
********?
