North London Line
In message , Graham J
writes I used the North London Line to get from Highbury and Islington the last two days there were enough people to fill 8 carriages, but only 3 on the train. It must be common, because there was no hesitancy getting on board, everyone runs and crams into every available inch of space. Is this cattle truck scenario the norm ?? Drifting off from the original subject. I am always amused when I hear the whining and complaining at East Croydon about supposedly crowded trains in the morning peaks. Yes they can be extremely crowded but they are as nothing compared to those I used to encounter in the peaks from Edmonton Green. They'd have been regarded as half empty there :-) Similarly I used to complain about crowding from Palmers Green to Moorgate...... luxury. This morning I managed to get about 2 inches of space up against the door all the way from Highbury & Islington to Brondesbury on the NLL. I have to say that a lot of the problem seems to school kids filling the thing up. I can remember when everyone went to the local school, and walked there. In fact I can't remember using a bus or train once in all my school days. -- Edward Cowling London UK |
