thats needed since anyone under about 6'2 doesn't have any problems
standing up anyway in a tube train

I suppose our comfort doesn't matter to you.


Recent LU designs don't even accommodate people who have a top half to
their body (eg the perching cushions on the Jubilee directly below the
emergency call thing, so there is nowhere for your body to go, but
there would have been if there was a seat).

It would be inconsistent for them to start taking into account any
kind of human body shape now.
