‘This occurred this afternoon on a city to Macarthur service,’ the man who sent the picture in said.
‘My wife was happy to stand, however there was an elderly lady that really could have used this seat.’

He said the woman was minding the seat for a friend who was about to get on the train.
‘It turns out she was holding the seat for a friend who got on somewhere after the airport while all the other passengers had to stand,’ he said.
The woman was confronted but she continued ‘refusing to move her bag for anyone to sit down’.
‘Trains are packed due to cancellations and issues going on,’ the man said.
‘These days I’m too worried to say something in case they just decide to stab you or how they are going to react.
‘Someone already had words with her and she’s sitting there laughing to herself.’
