Lol, I understand. I also had Side Lower recently in 3A and it was occupied like heck on BJU-GWL Mail. I made it empty at LKO and just as I went to take some breakfast at CNB, again my seat was taken. There were so many staff for JHS bound. I didn't even footplate this time because of fear of losing my seat. On contrary, [I had a split journey in 2A+3A since the two tickets were done separately], the singular 2A coach was unoccupied by extra folks and largely better than the mess 3A was.
