Trying to drill down to the core issue
A train can run as only 1 coach, if everyone gets a seat its not news (save the trainspotter types)
Without question under normal conditions no one should stand on an intercity service. The increased demand was foreseeable and there was other train sets available
The train wasn't booked out either and the IT guys have worked out a fairly clever solution which means regardless of the train type all the seats exist.
Anyone on the 13:25 who had booked and stood is entitled to a
FULL refund
