Children, pushchairs and bicycles

Tonight was a great journey for people keeping the rules. At Woolwich we had both a lady with a pushchair and a guy with a bike get on, pushing their way on in front of everyone else. The guy with the bike places it by the opposite door and the lady  with pushchair put it lengthways next to the bike, while her child not in the pushchair ran to a seat. Meanwhile,
Everyone else was trying to get on but couldn't get to the seats because these two people had blocked the entry to the aisles. 

The two children then proceeded to scream and shout for the entire 15 minute journey, although to be fair some of the screaming I think was supposed to be singing!

The best bit though was when I came to get off. First of all I couldn't get past the pushchair. But the pushchair couldn't move (she also wanted to get off) because of the bike, which had been chained to one of the poles next to the door! Cue train being delayed via no-one could get off. The guy with the bike didn't like being told off by the platform staff either. 

So a big hats off to these two people for keeping the rules about noisy children and blocking access ways.
