"It’s British lore: on escalators, you stand on the right and walk on the left.
So why did the London Underground ask grumpy commuters to stand on both sides?
And could it help avert a looming congestion crisis?"

Great article - the hard part is convincing people to change their behaviour
when it's become established etiquette.

Share and enjoy,
