Sir - I was astounded to read (Report, December 15) that Oxford commuters have any objection to standing on the train to London.
Back in the 1960s, a friend of mine who had moved to Rochester waited on the platform on his first Monday for the next London train. When he had at last crammed himself in, and the door had been slammed shut on him, one of the commuters against whom he was tightly pressed said, with an air of indignation to the world at large: "Hey he's standing in Ron's place."
Commuters nowadays, they don't know they've got it made.
