Default Japanese pushers to be employed at Kensington Olympia ...

Due to severe over-crowding on the Overground - the trains stupidly
restricted to mere 4-car units - Japanese pushers are soon to be
employed to push and squeeze commuters into these cattle trucks during
the rush-hour.

As witnessed everyday - but thank fully not experienced - at
Kensington Olympia (and numerous other stations on TfL's new
Overground routes) - at rush-hour - these trains largely devoid of
seating - are so grossly over-crowded as to be well beyond safe
capacity - thereby necessitating specially recruited Japanese platform
staff to push every last commuter through the doors into the grossly
over-crowded carriages.

They are due to begin work on Friday with the morning rush-hour.

The result of this over-crowding is a solid mass of humanity inside
the open plan carriages with commensurate momentum. Thus if a packed
train ever derailed or suddenly stopped, this tightly packed mass
would shoot forwards through the fully open interior to fatally squash
hundreds of hapless commuters at the leading end.

The fact that these conditions exist are due to the apparent callous
disregard that Transport for London has for its customers in not
putting into service 8-car units and extra trains during the rush-
hour.

It is not a matter of if but when there is a train crash / smash with
massive loss of life on these brand new cattle trains.
