The reports of overcrowding remind us that although working from home has lowered passenger numbers on Mondays and Fridays, the rest of the week is busier than ever.
The overcrowding on the platforms is exacerbated by short gaps between a train being advertised as ready to board and its departure time, leading to tidal waves of passengers surging to the platforms.
Moving the display boards from the main wall to free-standing signs helped to spread crowds but also allowed for an overwhelming advertising presence, reducing passenger comfort.
It seems odd that trains are announced so late; even if housekeeping must occur inside, there could be a better system to allow passengers onto platforms sooner.
