The following is just out of interest as this was something I came across last weekend on a journey between Leeds and London Kings Cross (apologies if I have failed to find a thread that would of given me the answer!).
The passenger in question was being asked by a fellow passenger to kindly remove her bag from the seat next to her but she refused. The reason for this was she had paid for that addition seat!! When asked to explain further she said she had bought two advanced tickets, one adult ticket for herself and then one child ticket so she had additional room to work!! (There was no use of any railcards etc).
So, my question is is the above scenario permitted? Obviously, morally, if it was standing room only, I appreciate that it probably should not be allowed but is there anything to prevent passengers from actually doing this?
