A busy train can be an uncomfortable place to be, especially if you are squeezed in one of the last seats or standing for the majority of the journey.
While standing for hours on end can be a total chore, securing a seat can bring about a sense of relief as you get to rest your legs for a little while, reports the Mirror.
However, it's an unspoken rule that even if you did claim a seat first, you should give it up to those more in need, like those with disabilities, pregnant women or those with children.
