Height & Knee-length do not cover overall width of a person, sorry

And more to come Monday into Christmas Eve.

I note that no body width is specified, which is what we've recently been discussing

Don't believe anything Gilligan writes.....shame really, used to be a good journalist, but his rail stuff is regularly refuted by the folks in the Rail press

I also have this problem. A 36" inside leg means my knees are hard up on the seatback in front on every airline seat on FGW^▸ (First Great Western), turbos, regional & HSTs^▸ (High Speed Train). And I can't slim down to reduce this either. There needs to be a minimum seat pitch on public transport. First thing I do when flying is to find the airlines with the largest pitch - they all differ in Economy.

I will embarrass fatties if they are taking up more than their fair share of my seat. Sorry, but 99% of the time the've picked their size as a life-style choice & why should I pay for that in getting half a seat. I will even suggest they move to the aisle seat to hang off theirs into the aisle if necessary.

Likely, perversely, to be more of a problem at weekends, where many upgrade to Weekend First, thus leaving those that have bought 1st Class struggling to get a 1st seat if joining in Devon. Suspect the demise of Weekend First once this shrinking exercise is complete - just relying on getting the 1st class Advance quota right....

There were reports at the beginning that the bus was trying to avoid that officer. Curiously, the bus is now just avoiding "something"

So it may be cheaper to buy an unnecessary travelcard season than a point-to-london season at 2014 prices between 2nd & 19th January?! :-)

Frankly, that's silly. All prices should rise on 19th

Jealousy

So, to clarify - all 2013 fares apply until 19/1, or just Travelcards & Travelcard Seasons?

It's got be all or nowt, surely?

I'm sorry, but if seats are available & one has a ticket - you are as entitled to a seat as the person beside you!

It was....wonder why the BBC^» (British Broadcasting Corporation - home page) only just reported it?.....


That's tosh....unless they've gone back on a decision. And why are glass panels starting to appear in certain 1st class coaches as reported by some in the SW?

That would be Oxfordshire CC, me thinks - not Oxford City Council....

I ask the person to move into their seat as I have paid for the one they are sitting in.

Sorry, but there we go. Why should I pay for half their girth?

No.
