I can understand why he lost the plot - the amount of pratts who stop the automatic door's closing using their limbs/luggage is amazing.
If I ran the Tube i would have razor-sharp blades installed in the doors in place of the rubber stoppers

One particular guy used to use a condesending tone, like "mind the doors I said, which part did you not understand". Used to have a better effect than throwing a wobbly.

i drive a tube train we have 28 seconds from wheel stop to wheel start , i love the punters who jump on at the last moment and get there ruck sack caught ,
in the door panels are mercury switches ,if they break by people forcing the doors open , the train has to go out of service due to the doors being linked to the brakes  :y :y

He doesn't need anything checked, he is simply the end product of what we are creating.

i used to get the tube everday from northolt to chancery lane on the central line. my stress level went sky high as soon as i stepped on that tube. ignorant rsoles with there papers, cougin all over you, smelly pen pushers who havent bathed the night before an people who think the seats are for there baggage and not for sitting on. ive had many rows on the trains, so i do have sympathy for him in one way. but there is no excuse for rudness and arrogancy which is not acceptable in my opinion

Absolutely Rich.

However we have to assume the guy in the video has a previously unblemished record, and if that is the case then he has simply "snapped" from god knows how many weeks of crap from the thoughtless others you mention.

it really is depressing going to work on the tube. its like being in an overcrowded library. nobody speaks most of the time.when you do everyone stares at you. the occasional glance up some tarts skirt when she uncrosses her legs  soon brightens the journey  :) :) :)

Now you'll understand why we are outta the UK as soon as the youngest turns 16 (5 years away).
