Hiya guys, today I traveled on a different type of train. I usually go by the really fast virgin trains, which I have heard are extremely safe, due to having the same body structure of an airplane. Any who, this 'new' train was ridiculously packed. I was forced to push up against a random persons body. It wasn't nice, but the thing that I really didn't understand is, in 'cattle class' people were packed in like battery hens, but just down the corridor, in first class there were only 2 people in. When it gets this busy why don't they move people into first class. Even if they only stand? This would surely make it easier to access the toliets, shops and even get on and off the train!
Being British, we all know that we all go a little overboard with health and safety, but how is it that on a train, (and this is also true of the London underground), people can be in a space smaller than that recommended. It's warm, has a lack of ventilation and surely it is dangerous, for both medical reasons and as trip hazards. I really give my sympathy to those people who have to complete their journey on these sardine tins! I think next time I will stick to the virgin trains.
Lots of Love
