Men take own seats to the Tube

Failing to find a seat on the Tube is something that understandably worries plenty of people. After all, nobody wants to stand for all of a long journey.

A group of men in the capital have found an innovative way around the issue by taking their own chairs on board the underground system to guarantee themselves somewhere to sit.

Photographs have emerged online of the unusual scene, including one in which a man is seen to be relaxing in an armchair on a London Underground carriage.

The man in question is sitting back to read a magazine, while other passengers keep up the widely-held belief that Londoners do not talk to each other by completely ignoring him.

Another image shows a person browsing a Kindle while travelling on the Northern line, even blocking some other seats that could be of use to disabled passengers or those with children.
