Public transport has become one of London's finest forms of transport.Trains are fast and frequent but can also be very crowded and complicated.

With constant decreases in waiting times, it's no wonder we've all gone barking mad! It's definitely useful to have these train services running, as frequently as they do, as they enable the percentages of someone being late late to work to lower. Someone can simply jump on the next train with a waiting time of approximately five minutes - thus saving excuses and preventing unnecessary stress.

Trains are very useful in other ways such as minimizing the time taken to commute from one place to another. With technology advancing everyday, transport companies make sure their machines are up to speed. Engines are constantly tested to make sure they can work sufficiently enough to give their best possible performance equally balanced out with safety.

On the other hand, as the amount of commuters increases and travellers get caught in rush hours, trans become over crowded. Sweating workers and scents from a combination of products from fast food outlets can often throw you off. Travellers are often left feeling dizzy and dehydrated from the high concentration of heat. This creates a nightmare journey for the customers who can often opt to take the next train for their own safety.

In other cases catching a train hasn't been as simple as it was made out to be. With high demands for new train routes transport companies add more train lines to their network. This can often appear to look like a large scribble. Passengers often become confused, even lost, so their journey becomes longer and complicated.

Although trains are proof of how successful technology has become, they can cause large amounts of stress to the passengers using the services and at times even their health.
