The exact opposite of my experience, but there you go.


In what way?

Going from Euston to Blackfriars in the morning peak I can use the
Northern Line, and stand with someone's head in my armpit and my back
arched due to the low ceiling for 10 minutes. Alternatively, I can
take a 73 or 390 to Kings Cross and change onto a 45 or 63 from the
same stop and enjoy the front seat upstairs. Slightly slower, but far
less walking through dank tunnels and a pretty much guaranteed seat.
