To expect people go up steps on the left.

Some stations (Exeter St David's for example) actually DO have signs saying "please keep to the left"

Probably European- British expats cause chaos here on the stairs;)

When I used to do a lot of train travel for my job, this was a real bugbear of mine! Many's the time I would be standing a the foot of a flight of stairs as a whole sea of humanity flowed down towards me taking up the entire width of the staircase.

I always thought that in this country, as we drive on the left, we would go up and down steps, at the station for instance, on the left. I try to make a point of this but come across people going the other way and have to change route to accommodate them! Am I just being awkward?
