    Attention Plebs

    If the train is so full that you must use first class then at least have the decency to:
    1: Give seating priority to pregnant ladies and not make them stand for 20 minutes in a crowded and hot carriage. *
    2: Piss off once there is space in the rest of the train

    * I was stood at the other end of the carriage and so unable to assist

    Plebs from second class are insufferable. Did you summon the Guard?

      WTF were they doing on your private train anyway.

      Good heavens man. Tell your driver not to slow down at stations.

        Even if the train is full they should still not use First Class without a valid ticket

          Trans-pennine express seem to have a no enforcement policy once the train reaches a point where the guard can't physically get down the train.
          Unfortunatly seeing as how first and standard are connected by an unlocked door there isn't much they can do.
          Although making sure the trains are ontime and the correct length does seem to help! I've also been assured that it is possible to reclaim the first class portion of the ticket when the train is that full

            Thankfully, the East Anglia line has a strict no-encroachment policy for first class travel. I've seen more than a few arguments between conductors and lower-class travellers standing in the doorways of first class carriages. Even on the standard commuter cars rather than intercity trains there is robust enforcement with regular plain clothes "raids" on ticket evasion in first class. There are no busy train exemptions.

            Quite right too... I pay a small fortune for my first class ticket to essentially guarantee me a seat and some peace and quiet, especially on the morning commutes. It's quite amusing listening to the tuts and harrumphs from the other first class ticket holders when someone is rude enough to have a loud conversation.

              Rail travel has gone to the dogs since they made it illegal to throw the oiks off the train on a whim.

                Train? WTF is a train?

                Is this something common people use?

                    Good man.

                    But I put it down to changing the name "Second Class" to "Standard Class", and getting rid of Third Class. The plebs no longer appreciate their station in life (pardon the pun).
