Indeed, a most unpleasant activity best avoided, if at all possible, and with 'social distancing' likely to become a permanent feature of our lives for the foreseeable future, grossly overcrowded tube trains (or indeed any grossly overcrowded form of public transport) are likely to be a thing of the past.

Reminded me of the time I was working in London in the same around 30C and I got on the tube in rush hour to go to Waterloo, went two or three stops and it came to a halt mid tunnel, and there is stood for over and hour. It was packed, the conductor and driver came down the carriage and ensured all the windows and doors were opened telling people next to doors to close them if they cam on the radio telling them to shut them. Several people fainted and others were having problems breathing, I suspect the temperature must have gone into the mid 40's. The issue was a signalling failure so all trains had to stop where they were until fixed.

It was an extremely unpleasant experience, like being locked in a stuffy, smelly sauna for over an hour. I recall getting on the mainline train at Waterloo to Hampshire and people giving me strange looks as my hair, shirt, and trousers were soaked through with sweat. I did tell those nearest what had happened.

OMG, I'd have DIED in that!!!

Sounds utterly horrific.... It's one of the reasons why I always avoid crowds/very busy places, if at all possible. Aside from anything else, I find such environments extremely stressful and not in the least relaxing. And I like to feel chilled

Continually running around like a headless chicken, and all stressed to buggery, is very bad for your health.

A few years ago we took my father in law to Claridges, and as he was wheelchair bound, we took a cab.

Cab driver was so helpful, service "door to door", and for four of us cost comparable to/slightly cheaper than the tube. Since then we have avoided the tube - smelly, dirty, expensive and as others have said claustrophobic.

Yes Marco, it was extremely unpleasant and stressful, some people where on the edge of panic and started shouting, with others doing their best to calm them. The driver and conductor came through the train several times checking on people telling them that they were on the radio control team. Not something I would like to repeat.

More non-compliant assholes going where they shouldn't be going, and miraculously believing that the regulations 'don't apply' to them, see here: https://www.aol.co.uk/news/2020/04/2.../?ncid=webmail

Message from a resident of North Wales:

STAY THE FUCK AT HOME! LONDONERS, FUCK RIGHT OFF BACK TO YOUR VIRUS-RIDDEN, OVERCROWDED HELLHOLE...

and leave the lovely fresh air of Snowdonia, (blissfully) so far largely free of this virus, to remain that way!

<RANT OVER>

No issues about that whatsoever. The only reason I mentioned Londoners, was because [as per the article linked to] it was twats from the capital who had driven 350 miles to Snowdon, for a 'jolly'. That's inexcusable, so they can FUCK OFF. And that applies to ANYONE else, from ANY other UK city, who fancies 'a wee break' in (relatively) COVID 19-free North Wales!!

Enjoy the garden
