Commuter train Nightmares!

Yikes, you know it get's real bad when for the past 5 days straight the 7:50am train from Blackheath to Charring Cross has been delayed by about 9 minutes each time. Because of this, the train is not only picking up the early comers for that train, but all the late stragglers as well. I'm beginning to lose all faith in commuter people. See what happens is everyone crowds around the doors making it almost impossible to get onto the train. Yet there is tons of room alongside the aisles. There is no reason why people can't just move down a tad further into the aisles so it frees up space for those to get onto the train. Today was especially bad. I've had to revert to just bulldozering people so I don't miss my train. I'm not gonna be late on account of these people hogging all the door space. So I literally take a running leap and just pile into people. the phrase 'move down please!' doesnt mean anything, its a deaf echo. So there I was packed like a sardine between 15 people in a square radius of 3 by 3 feet. The worst thing is I had Hillary Duff - Come Clean on my Ipod blaring a little too loud and I was so packed in that I couldn't even change the song! What am I doing with that on my ipod anyways..... :P
