Default Camden Town revisited - many times, many,many times

MIG typed


People will also miss the trains they are trying to change to while
stuck in the congestion at Camden. If I was paying for more zones,
I'd rather wait a couple of minutes at Colindale (say) for a through
train, get in a seat and stay in it to Bank (say).


Having to fight my way through crowds at Camden, while missing the
train I'm trying to change to, and then having to spend the rest of
the journey standing (if I can get on) would dramatically reduce the
quality of my journey.


I suspect the thought of having to battle through Camden, then standing
for the remainder of the journey would deter a substantial number from
making the journey by Tube at all. I would not be surprised if
City-working commuters then moved east...
