I&#8217;m always surprised at how impatient people are.  Last time I was in London my ticket didn&#8217;t open the barrier so I had to turn around to go to another barrier manned by staff.  The girl behind me let out the most pained sigh.  She&#8217;d been delayed a maximum of 5 seconds.  The programme confirms that people have this attitude.  Travellers don&#8217;t care about other people, not even when someone is injured.  They just want to get to where they want to go.
