That's terrible. I didn't see it, but I've seen some pretty aggressive goings on at HOP when the train gets in (often too full by the time it gets to us)

I wrote to Southern about it (and got a reply, though it wasn't all too helpful)

Maybe its worth it if we all email/phone them about it. I said it was only a matter of time before someone got seriously hurt. Two women almost had a fist fight on one train I was on.

The argument from the woman from Southern trains was that there's just no more rolling stock so to get more carriages or more trains they'd have to take it away from somewhere else. Considering the line is now carrying the ELL excess, it's not surprising its bursting at the seams.

Anyway, can't do any harm to tell them, I might write again and cc our MPs.
