Does anyone know what on earth was going on at Charing Cross? Why did
they not let enough people in to fill the available trains? Is the crowd
management always that atrocious?

The Met Police were probably in charge!


They where...

Waterloo was the same when I left the office at about 02:00 - Huge queues
round the station, people waiting ages and ages to get in. Quick walk to
Southwark on a almost empty JLE train to green park - Waterloo platforms
where very quite upto Green Park for the Vic line (Was no worse than a week
day besides the tit who pulled the PEA because his mate missed the doors at
Euston) got back to KGX and was told by an LUL person all the trains had
gone (Which wasn't true) and on the 02:36 home!

I recall last year I ended up not using Waterloo for the same reason.
