But the middle was packed until Kew Gardens, and the back was packed until
Gunnersbury.


I had no idea my remark about coaches on the front would generate so much
apparent confusion. Just for the record, it WAS a joke (but suggested in all
seriousness by a passenger to me in the 1960s when trains were really
crowded, the maximum I recall being around 1700 on a Bexleyheath line
morning peak train but of course at least half of them still had seats).
