Aisle seat blocking and seats for bags

[Ronald Binge]

Anyone else noticed the phenomenon of commuters taking up the aisle seat and then in many cases parking their bags in the window seat?

Been several threads on this, http://www.railusers.ie/forum/showthread.php?t=78&highlight=bags

Don't stand, don't ask 'is this seat free', say 'can you move your coat/bag etc'

It is a cultural problem, Irish people don't stand up for themselves, you have paid to sit.

The driver on today's 17:25 Dublin to Limerick made an announcement to tell people not to be taking up seats with bags - not that there was anyone standing, but fair play to him anyway.

I just move their bag and sit down if necessary. I've even dumped a suitcase down the aisle after an obnoxious British woman refused my polite request to move it herself.
