The point being.

The train from Farringdon was dangerously overcrowded. The people at
intervening stations were unable to board. The guard announced "move
into the cars to let people board" when the trains were absolutely full.

I felt that my safety was threatened.

How? I know it's annoying and uncomfortable being in an overcrowded
train, but *dangerous*?

FWIW, reasearch into accidents on BR's SR found that dense crowding of
trains can improve safety in the event of a crash (you can't move
about much, and nor can the train's fittings...)
