You bet! Am I that transparent?! I've even made me feelings known over there as well....albeit as anon.

I certainly agree that severe overcrowding is dangerous (because of being crushed) but theres no need to act like a spolit child about it "but my mummy says I must have a seat" - boo hoo!

Maybe whoever that person who made that comment should consult a copy of the National Conditions of Carriage, the contract that they agree to when travelling, which clearly states that a ticket does not infact guarentee a passenger a seat! I wish that person would get on my train, they would be off at the next stop!

... and (posting personally, not as a moderator!), I'd agree with you, vacman and zebedee!

People like that should be asked politely to get off the train, if they're so unhappy with the safety implications of their own decision to board.

Sometimes, I decide not to even try to get on a crammed 143 1753 service from BTM^▸ to Nailsea - but that's my choice, because I'm not happy with the comfort/safety situation.

No, it shouldn't happen that an already crammed train arrives - but when it does, it's no good having a tantrum and throwing toys out of the pram: that isn't going to magically produce another carriage!

William Huskisson MP^▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.

The HST^▸ seats were allready classed as high backed Roll Eyes
