I agree, I can understand someone just sitting in a seat if it's the first one the come to, or if they have difficulty getting around. I think "choice" is the key word. It's one thing to sit somewhere because it's the only option, or it's the easiest for you. But to go out of your way to sit...

That sounds horrible, it's difficult because unless you want a confrontation what is there you can do? At least they *may* have the excuse of being drunk. But it doesn't sound stupid. I don't think they knew how that could have come across. We are the same age, and though I'm not necessarily...

Thank you all so much for your advice. A part of me thought I was being a bit paranoI'd. I think if this happens again tomorrow I will definitely move. I think that maybe there was an ulterior motive, and with the speed he tried to get into the seat I'd vacated I'm thinking that might have been...

I am a female - if this helps? I'm 27 too, and very short, not exactly "eye candy" my mum says I'm pretty.

Hi, for a start, I was unclear, there were only three seats, as in me in the window, a seat next to me (he was in that one) and then a third, then the aisle, the row in front had only one occupant, behind me was empty, and across the aisle there were two seats and there were no occupants, the...

I travel by train to work most days, I posted on here with an issue previously and was given very solid and practical advice. I don’t really want to ask for advice this time, more see if anyone else has had a similar experience and if anyone reacted in a different manner. I’m not sure if this is...

You were being helpful! --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Saw the same guards this morning, they were very friendly, they recognised me from the other day when they'd seen my ticket, and no problems as I had my ticket today. That seems to be all they care about, the ticket of the day...

I bought my tickets to go home at the train station. I bought a return and explained to the conductor when they checked them on the train. Sorry if that wasn't clear. There is a machine at the train station but no one to buy them off. So I purchased a return from the other station instead. And...

Thank you!

Hello there fellow travellers. Well I bought my tickets, and explained to the conductor what had happened. No harm done. If they see me tomorrow then I can show my tickets I bought at the station. I think having a bad day and feeling particularly foolish means I will be extra vigilent. Hope you...

How do you mean, would you expand? I wasn't stopped today, I walked right past two (I think, I didn't actually see them as it was fairly dark) under the underpass, and there was a bike and a couple of others and I think one said "Hey" but that's all. I didn't really hear and I was going fairly...

The last time before today would have been well over two years ago, and previous to that possibly twice when I used to commute previously probably when I was in my early twenties. And each time I have always paid the money back at the earliest possible time. So what I mean by rarely, or when...

This could be my short sightedness for trains outside of the North of Britain as a commuter, but amongst the people I know, not one has two bikes for this type of travel. I stand somewhat corrected, but I still think it is a bit of a stretch.

I've checked the train companies I travel with and there is no such rule against bikes at peak times or otherwise, and considering the amount of other commuters like myself who also bring their bikes on with them I shouldn't think it would be enforceable. I've never been to Waterloo, but with...

Who has the cash for a second bike??
