Journeys on these TOCs tend to be somewhat longer than journeys with
say Southern or SilverlinkMetro. People are less likely to stand for
15-20 minutes where there are seats available. However on Metro
services the reverse psychology applies, people are less likely to
squeeze in between two strangers for a journey of only 5-10 minutes.

With the Metro service, I have often seen people not bothering to sit down
for short journeys - even when there were plenty of seats available.
Something similar happens on the Circle Line between Paddington and Euston
Square.
