CrazyNick rated 20 months ago- Etiquette for the London underground.
- jenjen1352 rated 20 months ago
- From the page: ""I was travelling on the Bakerloo Line from Edgware Rd to Charing Cross as usual when at Oxford Circus a heavily pregnant lady joined the train. I immediately jumped up to offer my seat as I was brought up to do. She immediately cowered to me 'you only offered your seat because I'm a woman' to which I replied "No, I would have offered it to a pregnant man also!" and I sat back down noticing my fellow travellers smirks."" Oh yes. As an expat Londoner I obviously know the rules of the Tube, having spent many happy hours as a teenager bunking off school to go round the Circle Line, me and me mate, puffing away on our Number 6 fags. This was before they sensibly banned smoking in the Underground. I still love that special Tube smell...

- Most important aspects: On escalators stand on the right. Let people of the train before you get on. The brighter among you will realise that if it is packed there will be no room for you to get on until you've let people get off. Your luggage does not get a seat. One that isn't on the list but should be is on busy trains people should put their kids on their lap. I would never have been alowed my own seat on a bus train or bus as I child. Increasingly I find I really don't like bad manners. I wish people using the metro in Manchester had better tube etiquette.

- All true. Don't smile, don't talk, don't act in any way that suggests you are a human-being, and London will welcome you as one of its own by ignoring you.

- All the wonderful memories of my trip to London came back reading this page.

- Absolutely brilliant, if only more people actually took the time to follow these rules! From the page: "although it looks as though everyone ignores everyone else on the tube, someone, somewhere - probably me - will be watching you!"

- I'm afraid of being underground so when I am on the tube I sing. I sing loud. Always seem to get plenty of room to myself.
