Penalty fares for sitting in First Class
In message , Roland Perry
writes In message .com, at 05:10:01 on Sun, 21 Jan 2007, Jonathan Morris remarked: At most other times, it's a case of people trying to keep empty seats next to them - and people are too scared to ask them to move whatever it is they've put there. Should this count as a full to capacity train? It's certainly the majority. I have no hesitation to ask someone to move something, but you will often get the look that says 'That's MY seat - how dare you take it'. You just have to get on with it, or be willing to stand. I often seem to get a reservation in seat 1 of Meridians. This is the corner seat at the end of the coach. It's also the seat that seems to be a prime target for occasional travellers to slump into (first they see when they get on board), complete with half a dozen assorted bags. The problem when asking them to move is answering the inevitable question "so where are my bags supposed to go"? There never seems to be a Meridian Train Designer handy when you need to refer people to them! Seats should not be occupied by bags, I have frequently found my reserved seat to be occupied by a bag belonging to The woman in the next seat, They get asked to remove IT. -- martyn dawe |
