Re the ITV transport programme (London only) on at 1930, it was interesting
that in concentrating on the suggested dangers of standing, the reporter did
not draw attention to the fact that seats are being removed as fast as the
operators can manage it. Even common sense suggests this is a silly idea
without the rather doubtful computer simulations used to confirm it.

Except that standing on a train is far safer than sitting in a car.
That being the case, it is advantageous to allow as many people to
travel by train as possible.



Except when they remove two seats to create a space where only one
person can stand, as on the Jubilee.
