I suppose this, like whether mobile phone conversations are allowed on
the train, is just one of those areas where you can't please everyone.


As for the latter, if people respected the idea of "quite carriages" you
would be able to please more people. But that's at odds with reality.

I also like being able to find a paper in the train. Since I rarely
travel during peak hours I don't usually find one at the station.
I'll leave them there, behind the seat, and nicely folded usually. But
yes, you also see many loose sheets lying around. A late evening Met.
line train looks absolutely awful. There's no "polite" place to put it
as there is when you have transversal seating.

What about the racks above the seats?
