These days I find everyone congregates in a mass in
front of the big departure broad, and as soon as a platform is announced
about a third of them will suddenly start scurrying in the same
direction. If you are any distance from the front of the "clump", you
will get held up.
This wasn't the case when I travelled to Edinburgh in December, when all
the trains were ****ed up because of the snow and so were horribly
overcrowded ...
Was it a busy train - you simply can't get that many people through the
ticket check and onto the platform in a minute

Well, the previous train had been cancelled, so they had two train-loads
of people in one train. It was absolutely rammed. Inconsiderate gits
standing in first class prevented the nice young lady from getting to me
with my free coffee, and even worse, the wireless interweb was
overloaded!

(which was the time asserted up the thread).

Yes, that's nonsense.
