Except when they remove two seats to create a space where only one

Isn't that supposed to be multipurpose space for luggage, prams and
such? That said, the Northern Line tip-up seats in those spaces are
better than the "perches" on the Jubbly.



The trouble is that people have top halves to their bodies and, if
leaning rather than sitting, actually splay their legs further out
than they would if sitting in a flip-up seat.

The chunky obstructions (like the speak to the driver thing) on one
side, plus the inappropriateness of leaning on someone's head on the
other side, result in people leaning in the middle of the space where
two flip-up seats would be, leaving no room for a second person.

At times of crowding, there is no room for luggage anyway. At times
of less crowding, the seats could be flipped up and the space would be
useable.

There are similar problems with the 376s on SET.
