Then as soon as you stump up the money for First, they open it to everyone and then you’re surrounded by the proles again.

Just sit in the premium seats that aren’t reserved. They wont kick you out if its standing room only they normally move people in there
Thats exactly what they did. Told to cram into standard and stand up

90 mins

>If your train was cancelled you should be getting a ticket refund for the delay. So spend that money on the upgrade instead. Yes, but by getting a refund don't you also lose the "right" to use other trains?
Straight on to delay repay!
Sunday trains in the nutshell.

Now pretend you’re disabled and use a wheelchair and are on a fixed income and can’t afford the upgrade but people have put their luggage, a bicycle, and themselves in the space reserved for wheelchairs and the conductors won’t put the ramp down to even let you board because t...
