More likely they've emerged from your carpet or drawers than flew in the window. They don't really fly much at all

IIRC there was a hubris for a short period of time that OHLE would be installed between Southampton and Basingstoke replacing the 3rd rail

Not for this thread really but if they do this they'd be best doing a SWT style approach, different colours that mean something but common scheme to bind it

I always wondered why they mis-matched the body colour. Thank you for explaining!

If this is a guessing game I'll go with rodents

You defended him in post #3

I do agree it can be confusing however the advantage thing goes with the territory. Regulars know which door to get off at to be first out of the station whilst infrequent travellers lose out. Regulars get season ticket discounts whilst infrequent travellers pay full fare. Heck regular drivers...

So your argument is, if you have a standard ticket then feel free to sit in First Class and wait for a screen that may eventually scroll to say you're allowed. When really it is if you know you're allowed to sit there you know and if you don't know, then don't sit there in the first place. Just...

And going back to my earlier post, when going to Kings Cross the front first class regardless of it being a 700 or 387 is always first class I'm struggling to think of any train from Stevenage to either St Pancras or Kings Cross that has the front first class declassified

It is simple, if you sit in an area marked First Class know the rules. If you don't know the rules then don't sit there. You're defending a chancer who is squealing because they were caught.

I say again, this is a Stevenage to Kings Cross commuter, not someone who mostly goes down the Wimbledon branch. From the Great Northern (as that is actually the operator of the service) website

and yet the OP in the X post was Penalty Fared at London Kings Cross. I wonder many Stevenage to Kings X trains don't have first class restrictions.

It's the other way around. First Class is declassified where you are told eg Link Linked site shows a photo of screen allowing standard class ticket holders to sit in this area marked First Class

London Bridge since the rebuild. Nowhere to hide on the platforms and those canopies are high enough to allow rain and snow to hit the platform and to create a wind funnel effect

Down South it's the other way around weirdly. Always the facing groups go first
