Train EtiquetteAnd what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment

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 easilyOriginally posted by Stevie Wonder BoyI can't see any way to do it can you please advise?
I want my account deleted and all of my information removed, I want to invoke my right to be forgotten.Comment

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.Comment
