I'm sick of arriving at the station after 8.30 and finding all the Metro
newspapers gone.
I'm really happy to find that there are some left by others on the train.

Additionally, because I commute arse-about-face (live in zone 2 but work
in zone 6) I'm also grateful to people who leave the evening papers on the
train, even though I sometimes have to race the very efficient cleaning
staff to them.

Thank you to all who leave papers on trains and the staff who make sure
they get taken off at the terminus.

I think it's great that when I get on the Tube, there's a selection of
reading material available.

They probably can, but they leave them as a courtesy to other
passengers.

I suppose this, like whether mobile phone conversations are allowed on
the train, is just one of those areas where you can't please everyone.

As for the latter, if people respected the idea of "quite carriages" you
would be able to please more people. But that's at odds with reality.

Amen.

At least thanks to those who leave them neatly folded. Not so much to the
ones who leave a mess of papers strewn about that wind up on the floor the
first time the doors move open/close.

Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level and beat
you with experience.

Er, "quiet."

I also like being able to find a paper in the train. Since I rarely
travel during peak hours I don't usually find one at the station.
I'll leave them there, behind the seat, and nicely folded usually. But
yes, you also see many loose sheets lying around. A late evening Met.
line train looks absolutely awful. There's no "polite" place to put it
as there is when you have transversal seating.

Why dont you just buy a newspaper? You do realise the Daily Star has more
editorial comment than the Metro which has none.

What about the racks above the seats?
