Yep, it's just a narcissistic feeling among passengers who think they should get to their destination before anyone else, thinking "I'm more important than you lot, let me on first"...."...and why do I, the wonderful me, have to walk out in the rain?"...yep, some of them were arrogant indeed, z e n z e n y o k u n a i, shooting the many messengers trying to keep the respective stations, and the trains running. Why different lines are run by different companies is beyond me...the worst thing you can do is completely privatize different sections of a transport system is beyond me, especially the size of the London Underground system.

I was in London several times this year. It's not a bad system. The people in the video look bad, but they don't know what's going on. The people jammed in the tunnel, where all the cursing is heard, well, those tunnels get stuffy and a person's first thought is, 'Why are they stopping us in this cramped spot instead of back where there is more room and more air?' All these problems should be handled two ways, first what they're already doing to manage the problem, but second is to educate people on how the Underground works. Peoples' first response will always be a knee jerk, "I just want to get home, I don't want to learn about how to run a subway." But they are interested, they spend a lot of time on it. It's always better to try to learn more. I was stuck on a Blueline platform in Los Angeles, with a growing crowd of people, and two British Train Drivers. When the train finally arrived, they said, 'Wait. There's always a second car within in 2-5 minutes and it'll be empty." They were right. I had a job once where if I left for it at 7:15, I would just make my 8 am start time, (45 minute stressful commute.) If I could leave just before 7, then I'd have 20-25 minute commute on a fast moving freeway, but then I'd have 30-35 minutes to hang out in the parking lot. So I'd read and drink coffee. I had to start parking at the far end of the lot because the new problem was trying to explain this to all the people who wanted to tell me that what I was doing was weird.

Having had the good fortune to visit London many times, my experience with the English people have been very positive. They're friendly and helpful. The Underground is a great way to get around. There's lots to see and do in London and the tube makes it much easier. The station attendants and staff do a great job and increase the efficiency of the system. If you're in London for a couple days or more, purchase an Oyster card, which can be used for trains and buses. It's worth the cost and saves alot of time, and will make your visit more enjoyable;)))

When I was 5, I wanted to be a train engineer. But when I turned 7, and started riding the subways, I wanted to drive one of those; I would beg my mom to get us on the first car, so I could look out the front of the train and watch us go through the tunnels. But being an engineer wasn't good enough for my parents, and they strongly discouraged me from pursuing it. I wound up becoming a nurse. But to this day, I still love riding the trains, whether above or below the ground.

I cannot accept this "it's old technology" argument, or like the lady at the beginning says, "these trains are from 1973!". Because... the trains in Berlin were from the 1930s, until they were replaced in the early 2000s by new stock. And after *that* happened, things broke down. There are times when only half of the fleet is in operation. And something like this never happened with the old trains. I now see the same thing in the west of Germany, where I live. As soon as old trains are replaced by state-of-the-art ones, everything breaks down.

Those who plan to travel in London avoid using the underground between 7:30AM and 10:00AM and especially the Central and Piccadilly line. That period the Underground is overcrowded, smelly especially during summer and everyone unwillingly press each other. Those who have to travel these hours is better to wait for two or three trains in order to find one with less passengers. Trust me some times during peak hours the frequency of trains is between 3 minutes to half a minute. Those who wait 3 minutes will enter a train full of passengers. Those who wait for the next maybe after half a minute will find a train with far less passengers. From my experience usually the first and the last cars of the underground trains have less passengers. Between 10:00AM and 3:00PM the underground is fine. After 4:00PM to 6:00AM the Underground is crowed but it is not hell like the morning rush hours. Some workers prefer a beer in a pub than returning directly home. Another piece of advise is to validate your ticket near an underground staff member who is always at the entrances and exits. Also always look behind you. Some people are pushing the passenger in front of them at the ticket barriers in order to avoid the ticket. I really really hate that. It had happened many times to me and others. Holborn station until 10AM the working days has only exit and no entrance.

Raoul Simon True, but London is worse, BECAUSE the stations are older, the platforms are smaller and narrower, and the infrastructure is more overwhelmed. The NYC Subway, crowded as it does get, can deal with higher capacities of people. Stations are larger, with wider concourses and platforms. Most Tube stations are only two narrow platforms, smaller, narrower concourses; steeper banked escalators because a lot of the Tube stations are deeper underground than NYC Subway stations. That’s why during WWII they used the Tube as bomb shelters during the blitz, because its very deep underground. I love London (and lived there for three years when I was growing up), but the Tube is a little scary when it’s super-crowded. That’s why when I have visited I try to ride either REALLY early between 6-7:30am, or between 11am-3pm or after 7pm. Between 7:30am-11am it’s chock-a-block ridiculous with morning commuters. 3-7pm; same thing with evening commuters. After that it’s better, unless there’s something going on like a football event, or it’s a major holiday. That’s when I would avoid the Tube altogether and just walk. And if ANYONE pushes me, I get VERY hostile in return (as I try to be considerate of others space), so if they think they’re going to avoid paying their fare by pushing me, think again. I will call you out. And if you try and get physical with me, you will get turned into transit police. I have NO TIME for that 💩.

There is a track connection, which is how it got to the depot, since they couldn't maintain the train on the branch. They also used different trains, at least 4-car 72 trains, and 3-car 73 trains. The 3-car 73s now run on the piccadilly, and that's why you sometimes see the third or fourth carriage of a piccadilly line train have a cab.

I used to work for JCPENNEY (for those who don’t live in the US that is a big department store chain). I couldn’t believe the amount of people I had to tell not to bring strollers or boxes on the escalators! We had elevators! Not only that, they would get mad at me Because i inconvenience them a little bit. Bringing that stuff on an escalator can lead to serious accidents.

I never got used to having to stand to the right on the escalator. Coming from the Continent we got used to drive on the left side and overtake other cars to the left. But all of a sudden it was reverse underground. We thought we were supposed to stand to the left and let people overtake to the left. But angry voices told us "right"!. Does anyone have an explanation to why things are the other way arround on escalators compared to the streets?

I just watched a documentary about how the Tokyo Metro is so disciplined. Watching this is giving me a headache

Agreed! Just got back from Japan and no such problems... with way more bodies.

Japan and the uk are way too diffrent to be comparing. Especially when you consider the tokyo metro is more subsurface compared to over half of the tube being deep level which gives diffrent enviroments to work around.

To test if you move more people on both sides. Place a partition at the base then channel people to both sides.

They should get station people to stop and stand on the left side to stop people from walking.
