New floor marks on the Tube are ruining everything for competitive commuters

One thing hardcore London commuters pride themselves on is knowing exactly where to stand so the tube train doors open right in front of them.

A TfL spokesperson said:

It’s a visual cue to get people to walk all the way along the platform and to show you where the doors open. It’s about reducing congestion.

Quite often in peak times, passengers, they congregate at the entrance to the platform. On the Jubilee line for example, you don’t have that because people wait in front of the safety barriers.

The idea is being trialled at Kings Cross station – and people aren’t happy.
