Your expertise please
Okay guys,
As advised by Kev I have a question for y'all...
Where is the best places to survey commuters?
This Friday we are undertaking "I'm up for a chat on the tube day"
With the loss of our funding we are taking a more lo-fi approach and will be hanging around town asking people a variety of questions, which will lead to an interesting set of facts and figures.
In theory, the most responsive people will be those who are up for a chat on the tube, rather than the rush-about commuters. Giving us some nicely biased results.
This is a project investigating the nature of tube silence as well as the nature of such surveys, and press response to these figures.
I need your expertise on this matter...

I dont know if this will help but the areas i think would be OK to ask people would be:
1) if on a train, on long runs like from Baker St - Finchley Road (Met) or Acton Town to Hammersmith (Piccadilly) etc
2) if at a station, then try stations near to office blocks like Moorgate, Bank, Temple and a few of the train stations (London Bridge, Charing Cross etc)
Hope that helps

We do want commuters...
any one who regularly uses the tube.
We can be in train stations where people are waiting for trains, but we need to find the ones who got their via tube.
In addition, we are going to have to be able to stop people on the street. If they are on their way to work they won't want to stop... near office blocks sounds like a good idea. Cigarette breaks, etc.
But like I said, we are trying to get biased results. thise with time to stop are probably up for a chat on the tube. but we also want to make people who arent up for a chat question WHY they aren'y.

I think the best area's to get biased results would be either in busy areas in the theory that there are a lot of people, someone will be up for it plus a variety of people, or the more quiet stations as theoretically people might not be dashing to work.
I think somewhere like Camden Town tube station might be good. A variety of people go through it of all ages and there will be a lot of young people. Teenagers tend to either be idiots who will cause trouble or the type who will happily do random things like surverys. Hopefully you'll find the former. It's also a station that a lot of people tend to meet others at [from experience, as I once waited 2 hours for a VERY late friend and noticed an abundance of others waiting around]

I think the best way is to try and engage people whilst they are on the train, rather than at stations, as people always seem in a hurry and are less likely to stop. On the train they are more likely to stop and chat. (and they've got nowhere to go/run/hide)
I reckon you should try to cover as many terminus stations as possible on trains heading both into and out of London. You might get interesting stats on differences between folk heading in from the Eastend vs those from the Westend.
I suggest the best place to start is Amersham at 05:25
see you there!
