If you frequently travel by train, you'll understand the importance of having a seat booked. Sometimes services can be incredibly packed, and it really helps to know you're guaranteed a place to sit - especially if the journey is a long one.
But one particular train passenger has shared a recent bad experience online, describing how they saw one mum board the train with her three children after having only booked two seats.
This meant that two of the youngsters didn't have anywhere to sit, with the mum "expecting" others to give up their seats instead. However, this didn't happen, and the train passenger faced a cramped and uncomfortable journey ahead as the three children and their mother tried to squeeze into the two seats that had been booked.
The Mirror reports that in a post on Reddit, the passenger ranted: "If you're travelling with three children, book four seats, not two?

"Now getting kicked by the child squished in the middle of two seats who is kicking their legs and taking up the whole table with their colouring - I've already said something but they're not moving because the train is full. Mum has also 'accidentally' stood on my foot twice too. It's just the entitlement more than anything."
They also described how the mum began breastfeeding her youngest child on the train, and while they insisted they had no issue with it, they claimed it took more effort than it should have because she didn't have enough space with her kids crowded onto the two
