Default Why is the northern line still so lousy?

Believe me. The delays are almost always owing to passengers ****ing up in one way or another.


I'll believe that. I travelled on the Northern Line from Euston to
Embankment the other day. And at every single station one passenger or
other blocked the doors. Often repeatedly.

There were even people left on the platform, who when the doors were
opened for a second attempt at closing, leapt aboard only to have their
backpacks caught in the doors!

And all of this with the dispatcher yelling down the PA for passengers
not to obstruct the doors!!


That's exactly what I have seen. Amateurs like SpudLikeYou delaying the service for the professional punters. SHAME!!
