King's Cross Overcrowding (sorry, crowding)
My colleague has just told me about his journey on the way in to work this morning. He was waiting as usual on the Westbound Piccadilly line platform at King's Cross along with several hundred other people, and heard the following, from the station assistant:
"Good morning Ladies and Gentlemen. I am sorry to announce that London Underground is not running a competition to see how many people we can get into the front carriage of a tube. So please move right along the platform to allow others to board the train quickly and more comfortably".
Update - Metro Momento
Headline on the letters page of today's Metro about overcrowding, when I thought it might apply to yesterday's pukey story below:
"Please ease our queasy squeeze"
