I'm always amazed how many people go for the first empty seat when they get on the tube, which is nearly always an access seat. I will always choose another if there is one available, but then, I don't want to have to leap up to accommodate someone who needs the seat. I'm rather uncharitably guessing that most of the people who just sit in that seat actually aren't keen to give up their seats either, sadly. I'm in a sufficient state of health now that I really couldn't *ask* for a seat, but I do still prefer to sit. And I remember how ill I was and it didn't really show, so I know *some* of the people I see sitting in access seats might really need them, I just don't believe they all do. I hope I don't glare at anyone who really needs the seat. I will observe myself more closely in future.
