I was on a train from King's Cross to Peterborough. The place was crammed to the gills as usual, and there were 2 complete carriages full of pre-booked seats with their slips sticking up, mostly empty. The First Class carriages were pretty much empty. When the ticket inspector came round he chucked a load of people out of 1st Class because they refused (or couldn't afford) to pay the extra £60 he was asking for the upgrade (no wonder they're always empty! Talk about us and them!), he didn't seem too worried about the people sitting in the reserved seats, but then when he got to me, he booted me out of the seat I was in because I hadn't paid the full price for my ticket! There were people standing all over the place and luckily for me, I didn't have long to wait before I was getting off.
Has anyone else had an embarrassing experience like that?
