•Not NR but the tube. Was at Victoria on the Victoria line platforms yesterday with a guy hurling insults at the platform staff about the trains being so full. I just sat and appreciated that the times from one train beginning to accelerate to the next train entering the platform was 22 seconds, 25 seconds and 24 seconds respectively.
If you're on an unfrequent line and the 2 car diesel train is full it can be infuriating. On the tube, or as said already standing at Waterloo seeing a succession of (almost) full length trains leaving I don't get how people can't appreciate its gonna be full because of the sheer number of people, not because of the poor service. When I was on a 4 car train out of Waterloo last Saturday that was a different matter, people couldn't get on as if it was rush hour, which isn't the service anyone expects on the weekend.
•Again at Victoria I was on Google maps to check the time of my departure and including the tube, southern, and Southeastern there were 7 trains all due to leave within the same minute. Crazy knowing each and every one of them would be the full length in respect to the service and still absolutely full.
