Golden Rules for Tube Transport

•Stand back to let other passengers on to the train - no
barging.
•Move down the carriages - don't form a 'clump' near the doors,
preventing other passengers getting on.
•Any requests (to move down, move to one side), should be prefaced
by a polite "Excuse me please"
•Don't spill over into the neighbouring seats - tuck bags neatly
under your feet.
•If train seats are strewn with discarded newspapers, move them to
the shelf behind the seats; don't toss them on the floor.
•Be aware that your headphones might be leaking sound and
irritating other passengers - switch down the volume.
•Give up your seat to elderly people and to anyone who is
obviously pregnant or carrying a small child.
•Keep personal grooming private: no tweezing, plucking, manicuring etc. on public transport.
•On escalators keep to the right, and be aware - if you're ambling in corridors - that other people may be in a hurry and anxious to get past.
