Where to Sit on a Train?

So, here I am sitting on a train to Margate! I'm off to visit my life-long buddy Caitlin for the weekend! Yipppee!!
The train from Selby was absolutely packed and I am so pleased that I reserved my seat!
Every place was taken so heaven knows where (if anywhere) I would have sat otherwise!!
Anyway, the train from Kings Cross to Margate is so far almost empty... but therein lies the problem!
If a carriage is almost empty - where do you sit?
Obviously not anywhere near the odd looking guy with greasy hair and staring eyes!
Moving down the almost empty carriage there are only two sets of seats with tables. I like sitting on trains with tables!
But what if the train fills up and someone else wants to sit at the table too? What if they smell bad (like the lady on the last train with strong perfume!)? What if they want to talk all the time?
So, should I sit in a 'two' seat? There is less space but it is less likely to attract a fellow passenger - and I could always drop down the mini-table and pretend it's bigger!!
But there are so few people on the train... and I am one of the first ones here... so why shouldn't I have a table seat?
I decide to be brave and I boldly park my suitcase under the table and park my bum in the aisle seat beside it!
There!
By sitting in the aisle seat I decide that I am effectively blocking the window seat beside me and therefore if the train does start to fill up at least I have a chance of keeping some reasonable space around me!
So, we're off! The train is still reasonably empty and I have a table all to myself!
I am sitting back watching the green fields fly past in the spring sunshine (well actually we're in a tunnel at the moment but it didn't sounds as good!).
But my lovely cuppa from the ever-so-chatty lady in Pret is just grand! And it's also my first one of the day so even more welcome :-)
The sunshine really is streaming in through the windows now... I'm enjoying this!
Fancy! I could have been all cramped up in a two-seat! Lol :-)
