bob the tank Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Just put a wee bet on the Sunderland/Newcastle game, kettle boiled and was settling down to watch the game, clicked on the Question Thread, You b*****ds have went and changed your clocks, thought I was at least going to see the first half before going to pick up someone in town. Probably going to miss the full game now. Programme the betamax P 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itzdrk Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 What is people's obsession with getting the seats with a table on a train? Just got on train that's empty. 4 of us get on carriage. The mother and daughter grab a table. The young guy on his own grabs a table. I sit in a double seat wi no table as I fail to see why I need a table ETA. Almost to prove my point the mother and daughter get off the train and are replaced by 2 30ish lads. Both sit at the table vacated by the ladies. Do the tables give you super powers? That's where the plugs are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie95 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 That's where the plugs are. Exactly, the main reason most people try to get to the table seats on my train are that they can charge their phones. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepper Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Table seat = more legroom. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Everyone scrambled for the tables before they had power sockets, though. Pepper has the correct answer. It's also a more pleasant journey to not have the back of a seat right in front of your face. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz FFC Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 More room on they seats Only if the opposite 1 is empty. Once someone sits opposite you have less legroom 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz FFC Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 That's where the plugs are. Nobody was using the plugs. In fact the train was that old I didn't have them 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also a more pleasant journey to not have the back of a seat right in front of your face. I usually go for a two seater now rather have some bag with her brats sit around you and insist on talking to you when you're clearly reading. Stick your jacket and bag on the seat next to you and you're sorted unless the train is really busy. When I was regularly travelling up and down from Wales to Inverness though I took extreme measures to grab a table and keep it for the journey. An empty tin of Special Brew or Tennants Super on the table, and a big stare and friendly smile at anyone walking towards you does wonders. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~~~ Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Only if the opposite 1 is empty. Once someone sits opposite you have less legroom So if you see the seats empty, are you going to avoid them just in case someone might sit across from you? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz FFC Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 So if you see the seats empty, are you going to avoid them just in case someone might sit across from you? Not really the point I was making. The point which seems missed is human behaviour. Everyone wants the seats with the tables even though they don't need them. Much the same as if someone got on later who telly could do with a table I very much doubt folk would give them a table.

BFTD Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Only if the opposite 1 is empty. Once someone sits opposite you have less legroom As someone with longer legs than Twiggy, who has sat in both many times, I can confirm that this is not true. I find the tables a tad low, however, and need to fold myself up in order to fit in, but I'm fine once I'm settled. Anyone over 6' 3" must find it impossible to fit their legs under them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
