Gave my wife a hand taking her and my daughter up to Euston to get a train this morning with a pushchair and a suitcase.
Hilarious to see all the twisty faced w**kers moaning about someone having a pram on the tube as if they have some kind of divine right to be able to get on when there is no room.
Some woman was passively aggressively muttering about it behind my back.
Needless to say i thought up a number of hilarious retorts which I didn't say to her.

Would they tut at someone in a wheelchair (actually, they probably would, the aunts)
Traffic is a nightmare in the morning.

Wheelchair users may well have to commute. Babies don't.

If you have to get a specific train, you have to get a specific train.

Commuters have had the entire time since they got home to commute to work again. The idea that someone 'chooses to take a buggy on the tube during rush hour' is no more valid a point than anyone 'choosing' to take the tube during rush hour. Everyone has the same choices and commuters aren't in any way special.

Didn't you just open the hood so everyone can see the cute baby? That's what I do with mine. Defuses any situation.

Sympathies mixed here. I would be unfailingly polite and helpful to anyone ACTUALLY on the Tube in a wheelchair or with a pram at any time, but I think it's a stupid thing to do and (given the cramped Victorian rat-runs that lead to the platforms) a fire risk.
Best idea is to allow some extra time and take a cab to Euston with pram or wheelchair.
And I am not joking about the fire risk. These old tube stations have grandfather rights and you would NEVER be allowed to build something like them today.
