Fox, that may be the case but the problem is there's probably 15 people in cattle class for every person in first. If not more in my experience!
I'd imagine most commuters in here have been unable to get on trains in the morning because they're too full, it certainly happens on the local fgw services into paddington.Can you imagine the outrage if you got to a station and were told to wait until the following day to travel as all the trains that day were full!
