Tunnel Vision pt2...
So you are herded along the road towards Tower tube station. (whether you like it or not!) and down the short flight of stairs to the platform. This is the first danger of riding the tube during rush hour! Many an unwary traveller has fallen at this hurdle. If you look close enough, at the very bottom of the stairs you might see tiny little dents in the floor. These are not caused by the metal heel of power-dressing power-hungry 30-something business women's 4 inch stilettos, oh no! They are caused by the teeth of various victims of the crush as they fall, face first from the stairs. Often times, it is believed, that ambulance crews wait, in taxi like ranks, just around the corner from the station, Paramedics inside laying wagers on how many victims the crush will claim today!
Once the stairs of doom are negotiated the next goal is surviving the wait on the platform. Much the same as the wait for the over ground train. Form an orderly crowd and surge forward at the mere sniff of a train approaching. This surge is wrought with danger of course! If you are unlucky enough to be at the front, you stand a heavy chance of being tube fodder by falling from the platform. It is my firm believe that there should, at 6ft intervals on the track, be bunker like troughs, deep enough for two people to hide, side by side, should they become victims of the surge!
