But the staff seem barely bothered. On a couple of occasions I have
complained to the guard about this and they just shrug their
shoulders. A short while back (about 6 months ago) at North Greenwich
a man bundled in behind my girlfriend and was shoving so hard he
bundled her over - he was a big bloke with 2 friends so the incident
was fairly alarming - I immediately approached the guard who told them
not to do it again but took no further action. This will go on being a
problem until LU takes it seriously.


FWIW, when some little teenage oik tried to follow me in at East
Croydon, and I blocked him in, and turned round to shout "oi
wodyerfinkyerdoin", a large BTP officer appeared from nowhere in seconds
and took him for "a word" :-)

I was waiting for a friend at Embankment the other day and watched in
interest as a rather eccentric guy staked out near the station
entrances, picked a target heading for the gates, strode after them
quickly, got stuck in the gates and effed and blinded for a few moments,
then went back to the entrances and tried exactly the same thing another
time before succeeding the third time. The gateline staff didn't seem
too interested.
