... or even charge a ^20 fee if pax want to take a bag/suitecase with them ...
how about a second seat charge for passengers who's coats, handbags and rucksacks also need a seat, even when people are standing .... that would be a good idea to stop the selfish minority |

For journies outside of London I would asume that you pay per each zone you pass through:
Newton Abbot - Penzance would be ^10 (as a zone ends at Plymouth)
but
Plymouth - Penzance would be ^5
Any clarification perhaps?

fair comment in my opinion,why should other passengers have to suffer sitting next to a passenger who invades their seat not to mention the extra fuel and ground staff work required to balance the aircraft out. dont take my comments as being anti obese it is up to them to be that way but all i am saying is other people should not suffer because of it. back to the trains i doubt any toc would dare try anything like that but there should be some sort of deterant for people who take up more than 1 seat with bags etc or who insist on putting feet on the seats. |

The times I do that though are indeed rare as I normally sit in the vestibule fold down seats, out of everyones way on local services  In FC‡ the routes I travel, I normally take trains that are not busy as I do like my personal space, but I don't have a problem with someone joining my table/seat next to me (Unless there are lots of empty seats and tables...  ) I will admit to being one of those passengers that insists on an aisle seat, Because I cannot sit in a window seat without having a panic attack...! |

Leaving a bag on the seat next to you to stop someone else sitting there is futile. The correct approach is thus: 1. Make eye contact with person eyeing up the empty seat 2. Lick lips 3. Look at empty seat 4. Lick lips again 5. Rub hand on empty seat whilst staring at person It's guaranteed, I tell you  |

OK if it's a nice blonde around 2o years old.....but not OK if it's a Dot cotton lookalike |

The best idea is just go for the single seat in coach A.

In which case you were seeing things!   You do realise that the picture shows Class 153 units, which are single car units. Although they have been known to run in threes! LM▸ had such a diagram, but had to change it, as it could not keep to the timetable! (153s have poor acceleration) Anyway, I don't think FGW▸ have any 3 car 150s. Unless I am mistaken, LM have them all. |
