3 days a week I normally get the 10 am train into work, which normally has a few spare seats. This week it's been packed on all 3 days.

On friday's I normally either get the train at about 8 am or 8.17 am, which is normally packed. Today there were a few spare seats.

I'm guessing this is because a lot of school's are on half-term this week, but didn't think it would really make that much difference on the commuter trains into London.
