Hell yes. Go to Bank* station on a weekday at 5pm and see how many trains you have to wait for before you get to crush yourself onto one. It's not exactly quiet off peak either. And the Central Line's recently modernised, which added capacity. Most tube lines at 5pm on a weekday in the city have trains that you have to squeeze in to. It's part of the fun of commuting in London. Well, fun if you are pressed up closely to some nice woman, but not as nice on a hot day if you've some fat sweaty herbert holding a ceiling strap in front of your face!!! The difference is that on most lines, there are actually trains that it's possible to squeeze into (this said as a seasoned Victoria Line pro not some kind of effete non-Londoner). On the Central at Bank at 5 (or at Bethnal Green at 8:30), there physically aren't. -- John Band john at johnband dot org www.johnband.org |
