How short is too short for someone to stand? For example from Lodnon Victoria - Clapham would you sit even if there are loads of seats?
Probably. You never know what might happen...

...'come on,somebody give this man a seat',despite my insistence that I didn't want one!

Given that trains to Clapham leave from Leeds, not Victoria, I can only answer this in theory, but my general standing limit with seats available is around two stops on a suburban service, or a bit under ten minutes. Longer if there are only middle seats though.

And a bit of etiquette at a busy station should be "If you don't understand technology then stay away from the TVM and go to a ticket counter instead!"
Thankfully nearly all London buses still operate a similar system: get on at the front, get off in the middle.Cardiff Trolleybuses were designed that way with a conventional platform and stairs at the rear and another set of stairs at the front leading to a power operated sliding door. Passengers entered at the rear and exited at the front. Simples.

I think GodAtum meant to say Clapham Junction...
As Im in my mid-20, I generally stand and rarely sit as I tend not to be going too far. As my station is usually the first stop from London, I aim to stand nearish the door to get out the station at the other end as fast as possible - I dislike walking slow.I agree with skimbleshanks the railway cat that this is most annoying. It is prevelent on buses/tube/trains I'm London. I did in fact assume it was people who didn't want to sit in the seats due to perceived germ/hygiene reasons?
Or get in at the front, and then congregate around the exit.Thankfully nearly all London buses still operate a similar system: get on at the front, get off in the middle.
