    Train Etiquette

    Gets me every day – the people who sit in the aisle seat and block window seat with laptop, rug sack, bags, while others have to stand.

        Train Etiquette
        I find it terribly rude that trains just continue along their way without stopping to let pedestrians cross. They don't even great me with a simple 'good morning' as they pass. Disgusting, and a sign of falling moral standards!

          Funny you should mention this, yesterday I finally succumb to Train Rage and push two stupid people to the ground for standing in the end of the carriage thus stopping anyone else getting on the train rather than moving along down in to the asile where there was lots of space. After a few cross words I just pushed through them, and being on the larger side they toppled over quite easily

            That sounds quite scary. I mean, I can defend myself and all that, but an angry train? Bloody hell.

              Yes, no problem at all with that.

              This morning an old dear was standing and I had to ask the young gentleman to clear a path for the lady have a seat. Very poor show.

                    What gets me is the standard class oiks who stand in the doorways of first class carriages stopping the internal doors from shutting. It's not that there are no seats, some of the "regulars" get there early to get their preferred standing space despite the train being nearly empty. Those ancient old intercity trains are fairly breezy when the internal doors are open.

                    Also, if you're on the aisle seat when you're coming into the last station, try not to wait until the train is nearly empty before getting up to let the window seat guy out.
