An experiment on the London underground

Weekend

Available for over a year

Traditionally on the London Underground, people stand on the right, and those who like to walk, go up on the left. But apparently this is not the quickest way to get people upstairs and out on the street. From 18 April, customers at Holborn Tube Station will now be asked to ride and not walk on two of the station's escalators. Weekend's Dee Sebastian went to Holborn to do a bit of running and walking.
