Does anyone else think it is rude for a single person or even two people to take up the four seater on the double-decker trains?

Really? Even when it's the last forward facing seats? How does one person "take up" four seats?
I sat in a four-seater this morning, bag on lap. I didn't think I was hogging four seats (two people got on later and sat near me) but if you see it otherwise I'd like to know!
When it comes to bags on seats, I have no hesitation about saying excuse me and sitting there. And in all the years I've taken the train, I don't think I've ever encountered any resistance (not to say it doesn't happen).

I think EBennett is referring to the one person in the last picture taking 3 sits, the one he is sitting on, the other where his foot is, and looks like a third one with a briefcase.

I never, ever sit in those 4 seaters, so I will never, ever be featured on this blog. I will try and contribute candid shots, tho.
Can we expand to bag-on-seaters?

I use the technique I learned from Ligeti right here on MOL. I pretend not to see the bag. I just sit right down. Before my ass hits the bag, they've whisked it away. No need to say anything.

I've always just said "Excuse me" and motioned with my head towards the seat. Bags have always been quickly removed.

And if they do make a face about it, put your big boy/girl pants on and ignore them.

So I've decided to start a blog with mug shots of these offending feet. Feel free to add to it if you'd like. Hopefully I won't have to add to this often, but, it all depends on YOU. Remember, you're being watched......
