(04 Sep 2017, 8:42 pm)big mac wrote The one problem with the tables is when a passenger travelling alone with no laptop etc sits at them when there are other seats available, and then a party of three or four get on and can't sit there because of that. Of course people are entitled to sit where they like, but it does raise a bit of an issue of etiquette.

A fair number of X21 journeys I've made have had some ignoramus sat at a table, outside seat with feet on the opposite facing seat, which leaves two options in a situation where the service starts to get busy: 1. Tell the person to move or 2. Sit next to someone in a set of two seats which sure enough is the situation that I always end up in on the X21, whether it's me who has to do it due to social anxiety or I'm the one they sit next to. BTW, I nearly always avoid table seats on buses and trains as space as often terrible when someone inevitably joins you and then wants all the space (I only do it when loadings are very light).
But other people do often seem to favour the table seats on the train and the X21.
