Trains, the Underground and subways, sentence 2
Stations are big but logical: in London you follow the line's name and colour and the last station in your direction, and on escalators you stand on the right so people in a hurry can walk on the left.
Who acts: Stations, you, people, line · What happens: be, follow, stand, walk, name · To what, where: name, London, escalators, left
