Had some old bloke plonk his bag on my reserved seat and I was in a bit of a state that night so I ended up in someone else's reserved seat, fortunately I was able to move into my reserved seat later in the journey.

On my TransPennine service on Saturday morning I had no reservation and I sat in someone's reserved seat, although it was reserved from Newcastle and no-one was in it, so I took it.

Also on a few occasions on VTEC, I have booked not to get a table seat and I have found my reserved seat to be at a table, most of these occasions were due to alterations to services owing to engineering works with 91's appearing instead of 43's, although on Saturday it was down to me getting a East Midlands Trains Class 43 set. These haven't caused me any problems but you do see groups of people looked unamused about their being one person sat at a table for four. Also on one journey, no card in my reserved seat but it was fine.

Oh and how many people can be bothered reading or even see the seat reservation screens under the overhead luggage compartment on CrossCountry's Voyagers? Don't like them.
