Not really. The only place that has proper subways is London although some other big cities have mini versions like the Newcastle Metro.  It is pretty much a clusterfuck the minute a train arrives at rush hour. Idiots not waiting for people to get off before trying to push on to the car, people standing directly in front of the door rather than moving down the car; that sort of thing.  At quieter times Britishness re-asserts itself and everyone plays the traditional British game of trying to sit as far away from anyone else as possible; bonus points if you get a whole car to yourself.
