I understand why your not allowed to put your feet on the seats and thats fine.


But i just think its so tempting to stretch your legs out and relax, especially when your over 6ft tall. The empty opposite seat looks at you and you can almost hear it "straight legs, oooh it would be lovely to have straight legs, sitting back with your feet up oooooooooh lovely".

So is the general idea, that you CAN do it, but just not with your shoes on?

I usually stick a newspaper or something like that under my feet. Not sure I really want to sit where some people's stinking socks or bare feet have been. ;D

I have no words to thank you enough for all these years and I am very proud to say that I was your manager. Thank you so much once more and always remember: You'll never walk alone."

Assuming there is lots of space, I put my rucksack on the seat opposite.
Then put my feet on that.

So best of both worlds & can be no justifiable complaint.
(assuming no foot to seat contact then its all good.)

Precious plum syndrome is a pet hate of mine. Blokes who sit in the middle of a bench seat on a train whose nuts are so precious they have to sit with their legs spread to avoid constricting their gonads - in the process consticting the space to either side. Frankly their cojones are not worth displaying to the whole carriage. They are the same inconsiderate arseholes that with a free choice, choose to use the middle urinal of 3.

I had one of them beauts on me case the other day gettin the train from Hunts Cross to Waterloo.

I was sat in one of them seats where opposite me theres like a plastic ledge either side of the actual seat.
I had me toes restin on the plastic bits so i could use me knees at the right angle to comfortably balance the paper and read it.

Next minute i heard  "Feet off the seats please son".

I was half stoned anyways so i just ignored it assumin some kids near me.

Then I heard.   "Feet off the seat or you're gettin a caution"

I turned around to look at that stage, only cos i was expectin this fella to get a tirade of abuse from some hoodie wearin Speke heads.
Only then did i realise he was talkiin to me.
I quite politely replied "Sorry mate, didnt realise you were takin to me then, I avent got me feet on the seats though."
He told me "Right, thats enough cheek from you, whats yer name and address"

At this stage it could of gone a number of different ways.  I decided the most favourable one was the one that caused ME the least grief, so i'm sorry to admit that I simply stood up and exited the train at Baliol Road, and waited an other 19 minutes for the next train.

IN a complete contrast to how things normally work out for me, i simply boarded the next train and reached my intended final destination with no additional fuss.

Suprisingly enough.

To be fair, you would be pretty fucked off if you were on the way to an interview and you realised that your pants were covered in shite because of some twat putting they're feet up on the train with dirty shoes on, for example.

Although it is so very tempting when you stretching out with empty seats infront of you.

As already mentioned, just be glad you got away with a caution, mate. I did the same thing about 2 years ago when i was 17 and received a non-negotiable fine.

Meanwhile, im on the train the next day and on come a group of lads with a can of alcohol in each of their hands and surprise surprise, no inspectors to be seen.

Can't stand Merseyrail to be honest, I've had three Ł20 fines from them. Some of the ticket inspectors are really sound and use common sense, especially late at night when there's hardly anybody on the train. There's been times when I've only been on the train for 2 or 3 stops late at night and haven't bothered to get a ticket when it almost certainly won't be checked. Usually if the inspector comes he'll just tell me to not do it again but occassionaly you end up with some narky bastard who's only intention is to piss other people off rather than apply a bit of common sense.

Worse. Hitler made the trains run on time. The little Nazi inspectors keep stopping trains to throw people without tickets off. Plus since when did ticket inspectors provide convict labour to maintain the track? The inspectors are clearly demonstrably worse than Hitler.

No, the Nazi bastards cynically charged a one way ticket.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocaust_train

"Most of the Jews were forced to pay for their own transportation, particularly where passenger carriages were used. This payment came in the form of direct money paid to the SS, in light of the "resettlement to work in the East" myth. Charged in the ghettos for accommodation, the Jews paid for a full one-way ticket,[13] while children under 10–12 years of age paid half price. Those who were running out of money in the ghetto were shipped to the East first, while those with some supplies of gold and cash were shipped last.

The SS also paid the German Transport Authority to pay the German Railways to transport Jews. The Reichsbahn was paid the equivalent of a third class train ticket for every prisoner transported to the final destination:[7]

0.5 pfennig X 8,000,000 prisoners X 600 km (pro media of voyage length) = 240 million Reichmarks
The Reichsbahn pocketed both this money and their share, after the SS fees, of the money paid by the transported.

They asked my name, asked if I had I.D. (which I did), then they phone up someone to check the details I've given are correct (address etc).  I assume they do the same even if you don't have I.D.

You need to have a valid address which matches the name you give.

To help prevent panic? If they knew they were going somewhere for free, paid for by the Nazis then I'd imagine they'd think it a little bit suspicious.

Wouldn't really bother me if it remained in their hands, though. Yelling at the top of their voices for the full 30 minute trip and one of them purposely spilling some over the head of some poor man minding his own business.

Whenever I'm on the train for a few hours, and it's not very busy, I usually stick my feet on the opposite chair and grab a couple hours kip. However, I do something, really, really, clever, something out of this world, that almost no one thinks of, because it's so clever.

I take my shoes off.


So passengers have a choice of either sitting on dirty seats or putting up with stinky feet?  Glad I have a car! :)
