As I sit on the packed underground train at London Bridge Station, I can't help but be amazed by the wall of glass that stands between the people on the platform at the emerging trains
Surely, a work of innovation. This now means that people won't fall onto the tracks or be pushed in front of trains. 2 sets of doors can only mean more safety can't it?
So why can't I stop imagining the scenario where I am late for the train, I run to get on it but the doors are just closing. Not only that, but the train is packed solid with suited Canary Wharf cocks and as I try to squeeze on they shove me out. As they do this, the glass protector doors shut behind me and the train doors shut in front of me. Now I am stuck between the wall of the glass and the wall of the train. As the train begins to pull away from the station, I am squashed beyond all help and am rolled around between the 2 walls until my head is crushed. As the train finally pulls away, I fall onto the tracks where I am not only electocuted, but rats begin to eat my face.
I suppose the best way to avoid this happening to me would be to just wait for the next tube instead of trying to just squash in like an idiot...
...but who's got 3 minutes to spare?
