Aperently the Guy has had 2 Heart Attacks, a Stroke and has a Pacemaker fitted which he mentioned to the Conducter, he was sitting on the Floor for 2 hours, How can the people sitting in the Seats live with themselve seeing this chap on the Floor while they sitting in there comfy seats is beyond belief.

Its a shame that the person who took the photo didn't take one of the culprits sitting down in the Disabled Seats, if Social Media is as good as they say it is, post the pics, and let them be shamed.

Its a good job I wasn't there, I would have hit f&cking roof and probably got myself Arrested.. 

[Bigron]

Sorry Zirk, they have already clearly shown that they are beyond shame, so no amount of adverse publicity would have any effect. They needed to have been physically removed from the disabled seats and preferably from the train completely. Then, with luck, it would have been the last train and they would have had to walk home!

Last March I was going up to London on a Saturday when the England v France match was on at Twickenham. I bumped into an 85-year old friend at Farnborough station. The train had standing room only and a young lady got up from her seat and insisted my friend sat on it. Good on her and thankfully not everybody can be tarred with the same brush and it does offer some hope for society.

As a boy I was taught to give up my seat[if the bus/train was crowded] to any old people or any woman[pregnant or not]also to hold doors open[shops and the like]to allow women to pass.Although I vary rarely use public transport these days these are habits I still use to this day.

I also was taught to do this and still do along with ushering my wife to the inside of the pavement and standing between her and any oncoming vehicles when crossing the road.
A couple of weeks ago, whilst shopping , I was at the check out and a young(ish ) lady was struggling with a trolley filled with three large bags and another that couldn't be fitted into it. I said I'd take one or the other to her car for her and she looked at me as if I was about to rob her . Realising her situation she agreed and I carried the fourth heavy bag to her, conveniently parked closest to the door ,car  . Once there she instructed me to drop it at the rear of the car and said "that'll be all " .... not even a begrudged thanks .

Last time I crossed swords with an arrogant "little darling" on a train, he lost his phone - but he was warned several times before I did it.

I wonder if that is why you can't open windows on trains any more.

I try to do the same as i was taught by my parents. But it,s getting more thankless a task as even older people now don,t seem to think that they need to acknowledge a simple kind act. Even a smile or nod would do, Forelocks, (yes, i did say forelocks) do not need to be tugged.
