Busy Platform - Busy Train!

An eastbound Class 378 London Overground / North London Line train calls at a crowded platform No.8 at Highbury & Islington station.

To help expedite the loading of people into the already packed train there is a station official who uses a megaphone to 'encourage' passengers to squeeze in to every nook and cranny. However, unlike the legendary packers on Japanese railways, the British equivelents do not physically push the passengers in.

Even with this help there are so many people waiting that some passengers decide to miss this train and catch the next one!
