And there is quite a good chance you will get a seat when changing at Camden Town, since a lot of other people will be getting off and changing for the other line, too. If you arrive at Camden Town on a crush loaded train do you really think you will be able to change to a train that is not crush loaded? So if you had a seat before you won't in future in the peak hour. Station dwell times are bound to increase when about half the passengers on board are changing trains. No they won't, because drivers will face discipline if they don't stick to "target dwell times". So they will shut the doors before anyone can get on (as they already do at Bank and elsewhere), leaving anyone who politely lets people off first standing on the platform indefinitely. So more vehicles will get through, and create better statistics, but the people won't be getting where they need to. |
