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. |
