The staircase down into the station on the corner of Tottenham Court Road and Oxford Street is narrow. The thirty-something male (there are a lot of thirty-something males shopping on Tottenham Court Road) who just bought a widescreen television hasn't planned his shopping trip terribly well, and after half-carrying, half-bouncing the enormous box down the stairs he staggers across to the barriers, pushes it through the luggage slot, and drags it to the down escalator.
He's just got to the platform when he has a sudden heart-sinking revelation that he's going to have to do all this again at the other end as well as changing at Notting Hill Gate.
Maybe he should have taken a cab after all.
