I'm surprised at the claim that overcrowding is a thing of the past. Try getting an overground on the windrush line and changing to the jubilee at Canada water! It's madness at rush hour

I do exactly that sometimes! And yes - that figure is 'by passenger km', so there's definitely pinch points where for short journeys it's still unpleasant. But the big change has been people no longer riding across London on a massively overcrowded Central line.

Thanks for the reply. I sometimes get the windrush to whitechapel and get on the elizabeth to avoid the jubilee so i can see the difference it must have made on the central line. Seems to me that the motto for london transport infrastructure is "if you build it they will come":)
