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).
