Here’s something that we’d never seen on the Tube before until recently, and now we’ve seen it happen 3 times in the space of a week.  A person gets on and distributes packs of tissues with a note asking for money – they put them in places next to people sitting on the train, some who ignore, some who read, some who do give money … and the whole thing has to take place within two minutes until the train gets to the next stop.

Twice on the Bakerloo Line, and twice on the Central Line we’ve seen this, and we’re told that the practice has been quite common on the Paris Metro for several years, and now it’s here in London.
