I overheard a (somewhat tipsy!) passenger on a train this evening saying that leisure travellers shouldn't be allowed to travel in the evening peak because regular commuters pay a higher fare. I know there are already restrictions on super off-peak fares from some London terminals, but do people here think that it should be extended to off-peak fares between certain evening hours?
I can understand why this passenger felt aggreived for having to share with passengers who have paid less, but then I could extend this argument to pax who have cheap advance fares while I'm on an off-peak ticket. I also don't think it's practical to introduce season/anytime-only restrictions, as this will only make the trains outside the evening peak even busier.
What do people here think?
