Holding doors

Post by mullardo »

According to the London Recconnections site, the bylaws relating to travel on the tube etc. has had the following added:
In the case of automatic closing train doors, no person shall enter or leave by the door, force open the door or obstruct the door in any way when it is closing.
Bugger.


Also on a slightly amusing note the following bylaw also applys:
No person on the railway shall, to the annoyance of any person sing

Hasn't that bylaw been common knowledge amongst Tube Challengers for years? If I recall correctly, there was even some debate about whether or not it should be permitted on a Full Network Challenge, with the conclusion that it is each Challenger's own decision to take, and that a ban would be unenforceable anyway.

That's the most interesting part of it, as far as I can see.

That singing rule is designed to stop these busking twats who get on with a guitar, play a really bad song and then expect you to give them money as they walk past with a cup.
