nightrider Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I SO hope this is true!! It'll come back to bite Them int ASS ---------- Post added 25-08-2016 at 17:22 ---------- Packed trains proof https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOWwUtobLXg&feature=youtu.be Nope. It shows at most 2 carriages. I've been on lots of trains where some carriages were packed and even had people sat on the floors - whilst those willing to walk through multiple carriages could find seats.

In my experience they fill the reserved seats from one end so that when a passenger asks where there are unreserved seats the station staff can tell them which coach. This means people can walk along the platform to the coach rather than walk all the way through the train looking at every seat they pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solomon1 Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 If I were Theresa May - February or March 2017 general election Think this is when it will be Which whatever your political view is no good thing - politics requires a strong and effective opposition - Jez is nowhere near able to deliver that And you think Owen Smith is better? ---------- Post added 25-08-2016 at 17:46 ---------- That video only shows one carriage - not the whole train (or even the whole of the second class section).

Things may have changed But I've ALWAYS had to walk the train London to Sheffield Past many empty and RESERVED SEATS Just to end up in the corridor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altus Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Jeez! There's no pleasing some people If a Tory politician claimed that the average pay had risen 20% in one year but neglected to mention that they were only referring to company directors I'm sure Mr Corbyn would have something to say about it. There's no excuse for "honest Jeremy" trying the same devious tactics. Things may have changed But I've ALWAYS had to walk the train London to Sheffield Past many empty and RESERVED SEATS Just to end up in the corridor If you've caught the train at peak times that's probably true. I've never found it to be the case off-peak even on the ECML - and Mr Corbyn was catching an off-peak ECML train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

altus Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 But the train was fullIt wasn't. Even Corbyn now admits there were empty seats - he just wanted two together so he could sit next to his wife. Many people were sitting in the corridors Why would they do that? nightrider explained in this post: I've been on lots of trains where some carriages were packed and even had people sat on the floors - whilst those willing to walk through multiple carriages could find seats.
