Passengers may not get on the first train [242] and the majority of passengers do not find a seat on their trains, [243] some trains having more than four passengers every square metre. [244] When asked, passengers report overcrowding as the aspect of the network that they are least satisfied with, and overcrowding has been linked to poor productivity and potential poor heart health. [245] Capacity increases have been overtaken by increased demand, and peak overcrowding has increased by 16 percent since 2004–05. [246]Chambers, P. (2006).

In the following years, the outlying lines of the former Metropolitan Railway closed, the Brill Tramway in 1935, and the line from Quainton Road to Verney Junction in 1936. [57] The 1935–40 New Works Programme included the extension of the Central and Northern lines and the Bakerloo line to take over the Metropolitan's Stanmore branch. [58] The Second World War suspended these plans after the Bakerloo line had reached Stanmore and the Northern line High Barnet and Mill Hill East in 1941. [59] Following bombing in 1940, passenger services over the West London line were suspended, leaving Olympia exhibition centre without a railway service until a District line shuttle from Earl's Court began after the war. [60] After work restarted on the Central line extensions in east and west London, these were completed in 1949. [61]
