I have just been browsing through todays Telegraph, and found this article on Britains most overcrowded trains.

Revealed: 10 most overcrowded rail services

I found it interesting that none are in the south east.

What do you think?

Not sure what the reaction will be to a six-foot fish trying to squeeze onto a packed train...

Now that I would like to see - could lead to rail rage I suspect!!

Are you fishing for jokes there John?

Seriously though I think by doing this a point is being made about the overcrowded state of some of our rail services. It shows the need for the thousand new carriages discussed elsewhere.

Strangely enough I was reading one of my older books last night - "Not the age of the train" by Alan Morris from, I think, 1986, surprise surprise - it was a major topic then as well.
