There's always at least one in the morning.

That person who - despite the fact the doors are closing, the Tube carriage is jam-packed and there's another train in one minute - will barge their way on in a hurry, much to the disdain and discomfort of other passengers.

For Transport for London Tube driver Jackie McPake says this is her biggest pet peeve about the job.

"It's so inconsiderate," she said.

"We run such a frequent service there is no need to run for trains, but people do it every day.

"They can end up obstructing the doors. When the doors chime it's a warning the doors are closing, not an invitation to launch yourself at them."

Jackie, who has been a driver on the London Underground since 2007 and does the early shift on the Jubilee Line, called out the "madness" of the morning rush.

She explained Transport for London has increased the station announcements to remind passengers of the frequency of the services in a bid to get people to slow down - but the mad dash mentality shows no signs of relenting.

"It's incredible. If people could just step back and have a rethink about it," she said.

"They've got their headphones in, they've left late for work and not allowed enough time for their journey - so that two minutes means everything to them.

"They've decided they want that train, they want that carriage and by any means possible they'll try to get it, regardless of the consequences.

"I think they should just leave five minutes earlier, I don't know why you would cause yourself such stress, it's madness."

Jackie said she's seen all kinds of accidents and injuries over the years because of people boarding trains at the last minute - from arms and shoulders getting stuck in the heavy doors to even pushchairs.

When people obstruct the doors by dashing onto trains at the last moment it also ends up causing further delays as she has to make an announcement, reopen the doors, and sometimes that means another person in a hurry will barge on.

So it seems it's probably better to just wait for the next one...

Jackie explained problems like these are common and the job becomes more challenging in summer when sometimes people overheat and passenger alarms are sounded.

"Reaching one end of the line to another without there being any delays because of passenger issues is lucky and very rare," she said.

The experienced Tube driver also wanted to dispel the myth that the job doesn't require much effort, as you have to be on the ball at all times as something unexpected may happen.

"Yesterday I was at Kilburn and the sun was shining low on the tracks when I saw something move as I came around the bend," she explained.

"It was a person on his phone on the side of the tracks like it was the most normal thing in the world.

"You don't expect that to happen so these are the things you have to take into account as that could have ended badly."
