Veet on seats has to be the worst offence
Oh, I agree, I hate having the hair taken off my legs!
Veet on seats has to be the worst offence
So I'd suggest that they'd be liable to pay half the single for each piece of luggage occupying a seat. Also if it's taking up that much space I wonder if there luggage didn't fall foul of the size/number of items limits!?
That's the funny thing about the whole event, there wasn't all that much. A rucksack and one large heavy suitcase flat along two seats. All I asked for was to move the rucksack so the suitcase could then be placed upright and I could sit next to it.

Same here. For some reason I like my body hair!
Thanks to Ainsworth74 for looking through the NRCoC and pointing out that a guard is entitled to charge a passenger a child's ticket if his/her bag is on a seat! The only time I've seen this happen was on the 1803 HST from Exeter St Davids (1700 ex Plymouth) to Paddington, which being a Friday had every seat occupied. Soon after the train departed EXD, the guard said: "If you have a bag on a seat please put it on the overhead luggage rack, under your seat or on the luggage racks at the end of each coach. I will charge you a child's ticket to your destination if you decide to leave you luggage on a seat."
This is the only time I've noticed a guard do this. I'm fairly certain unless every seat is occupied most guards won't bother.
After asking one chap several times to move his bag, when it reached the point that the train WAS full, the conversation went...I often observe that the experienced luggage-wielding seat hogger will hold out as long as possible, by which time the aisles and racks are full, and then declare "there isn't anywhere else to put it"
Window or Aisle sir?
Window or you'll what?

If they are travelling on Advance tickets isn't it a condition to sit in the designated seat? Could you issue them a new ticket on the grounds theirs is invalid because they aren't in the seat?The other one I hate is the person who sits in the seat beside their reservation, and I always remove unused reservation labels. Quite a few people say "That's my seat", and a few have started serious arguments about the label being removed despite them not sitting in the seat as "I might want to sit in it later".

I get annoyed when people on a class 185 decide to sit on the floor in front of doors, and when politely asked to move they flip and tell you where to go!
Where are the manners these days?
Should have sat on her jackets
think we had a thread like this not too long ago and I did chuckle at some of the replies..

I had a woman today with the old "If someone asks me to move the bag I'll move it, but not until then" line while we were boarding at Paddington. It got quite heated in the end, as she wasn't going to be told what to do by some little oik.
(She moved it - the complaint is on the way in as I write, no doubt)
Don't believe the urban myth that there are no seats from Pad, it's only coaches E & D (& sometimes C) that fill up. Most trains have tumbleweed blowing around in A & B.Seats are for arses not for bags, coats & (and my personal favourite) feet. :roll: Good for you though for making her move it, she should consider herself fortunate to have a seat out of Paddington!
Nah... I'd say the worst example would be someone sitting by a table seat, opening up a condom packet then filling said condom with a dollop of oil of olay and placing it on the seats opposite them...
I'm not sure where that photo was taken, but it looks to be a 319/321 or something of the like. If it's a 319 on TL, I see this all the time on my way in to London. But there are worse people, who put buggies straight across the isle...
