I was on the last direct train into Euston during engineering work on the south end of the WCML a few years ago - it was diverted via the Chilterns and the rest of the day was buses, I think. I walked through the train, couldn't find an empty seat anywhere, eventually settled down in a vestibule. I happened to have a track atlas in my bag and I'd never been on the Chiltern line before, so I had a bit of a look at where we were. Train manager spotted me, came over for a bit of a chat about the diversions and then pointed towards First Class and told me there were seats in there. I told him I was on a Standard ticket and he shrugged and said, "No-one's going to check it except me, go and sit down." We crawled round north London slowly enough for me to enjoy a couple of cups of tea!
