 Seats at the theatre - Bromptonaut
Long time since I was a regular long distance train traveller but it was pretty common knowledge back in the day that people booked seats on several KX-Leeds trains but only used one of them. If they were not occupied by New Barnet then it was a reasonable guess booker was not on board. Also the reserved tags used to say in small print where they were reserved from. If reserved from Grantham it was reasonable to occupy it until that stop by which time the train would be half empty anyway.

Daughter who has a pretty peripatetic role complains from time to time about people pinching her seat and then getting lairy about moving (or having to stand). Always found a way round though.
