Tip 04: Move along, there's plenty of room (2)

The same logic applies to platforms, as to trains themselves. There is no reason to stand in the entranceway instead of moving along the platform.

The guys on the station even say, "Please move along the platform". How many more clues would you like?

Just think how less crowded the carriage would be if you weren't trying to get on one out of 5 / 6 with every other person on the platform?

Move along, the platforms are long. There's plenty of space. Use it.

On many stations, those brave enough to venture more than two feet from the platform entrance can find a whole new world of excitement.

More adverts, vending machines, even seats!

Move along. Make the journey. Have an adventure.
