Train overcrowding in the United Kingdom
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Train overcrowding, technically known as "passengers in excess of capacity"[1] is a major source of public complaint about railway travel in the United Kingdom.[2] Large numbers of commuters have to stand on trains into and out of London, and other major cities, with more than a third of passengers standing on some services.[2][3] Public resentment about overcrowding, combined with the high prices of tickets, have made this a political issue.[4]
