This Sunday afternoon, the train platform in Southampton (as well as all the other stops to the east, as friends reported) was completely packed with weekenders waiting for trains heading west. The crowds were so large that they spilled down all of the stairs.

Consider how easy it would be for someone to be accidentally jostled off the platform without enough time to get out of the way of the incoming train.

This would seen to be an emergency situation that needs to be addressed expeditiously. If not, sooner or later, we are likely to be reading about serious injuries or a fatality.
