I'll open with Yerkes' Law as a suggestion. Any others?!

Yerkes' Second Law: Trains will only be held to regulate the service
at non-interchange stations.

I feel a serious document worthy of academic study coming on here.

Beck's Law: District/Metropolitan/H&C Line Trains come when waiting for
a Circle Line Train; Circle Line trains come when waiting for a
District/Metropolitan/H&C Line Train.

Earls Law: 'Olympia' 'Richmond' and 'Special' Trains shall come when
waiting at Earls Court for a Wimbledon train

The Acton Town Principle:

If waiting for a Rayners Lane train, the first three trains to arrive
will each be one of: Heathrow, Northfields, Ealing Broadway, Stops
Here, Special.

If waiting for an Ealing Broadway train, the first three trains to
arrive will each be one of: Heathrow, Northfields, Rayners Lane,
Ruislip, Uxbridge, Stops Here, Special.


Sands Law: if the up escalator is on the right, the exit gates are on
the left.

Warren's Law: if you are not paying attention, the up and down
escalators will have been reversed.

Warren's Second Law: once you have taken two steps up the down
escalator, you must run all the way up it or risk looking very silly.
