Commuters In Silence


Oxford Circus. 6pm. Hundreds of people on each corner waiting for trains and not one person saying a word to the other. A surreal moment!

If you've ever been on a tube platform between 6-7:30am it's disturbing. If you ever find yourself there take your headphones out and listen. Nothing. You will be rammed in with 500 other commuters who can't move except to turn the pages of their morning paper or skip track on their iPod, and no one says a word.

I'm not trying to make any point here, I'm just saying try it out. It's freaky.
