London Travel News
If you are a regular traveller on the London
Underground, here are some facts which you are going to wish you hadn't
read.
During Autumn of 2000, a team of scientists at the Department of Forensics
at University College London removed a row of passenger seats from a Central
Line tube carriage for analysis into cleanliness. Despite London
Underground's claim that the interior of their trains are cleaned on a
regular basis, the scientists made some alarming discoveries.
The analysis was broken down. This is what was found on the surface of the
seats:
* 4 types of hair sample (human, mouse, rat, dog)
* 7 types of insect (mostly fleas, mostly alive)
* vomit originating from at least 9 separate people
* human urine originating from at least 4 separate people
* human excrement
* rodent excrement
* human semen
When the seats were taken apart, they found:
* The remains of 6 mice
* The remains of 2 large rats
* 1 previously unheard of fungus
It is estimated that by holding one of the armrests, you are transferring,
to your body, the natural oils and sweat from as many as 400 different
people.
It is estimated that it is generally healthier to smoke five cigarettes a
day than to travel for one hour a day on the London Underground.
It is far more hygienic to wipe your hand on the inside of a recently
flushed toilet bowl before eating, than to wipe your hand on a London
Underground seat before eating.
It is estimated that, within London, more work sick-days are taken because
of bugs picked up whilst travelling on the London Underground than for any
other reason (including alcohol).
