Researchers analysed three years of anonymous tracking data from passengers leaving trains on one platform. By observing how people chose between two routes around a kiosk, they found a clear pattern: many passengers copied the path taken by the person immediately ahead of them, rather than choosing independently.
A major London airport has been given the greenlight to officially expand. Planning permission has been approved to allow Stansted Airport to increase its annual passenger cap from 30 million to 51 million people. The busy airport will be allowed to cater for more passengers without widening its current boundaries or adding a new runway. This means the number of flights Stansted is already allowed to run will stay the same.
