Metro Lock – also known as Tube locking, is when an individual or select set are placed in no mans land on a Metrolink or on the Tube. They have know where to hold onto during a bumpy, dodgy journey. Frightened and terrified and with the only one outcome, they lock onto the nearest salty passenger close at hand, holding onto dear life before they depart the Metro/tube and carry on with their daily majestic lives. Walking on, they and the poor helpless victim have just encountered Metro Locking!
