True, but there is typically only one unbooked carriage, into which the

Seated probably not. There is no requirement for them to be seated, and no
rule against the entire train being "full and standing", which is generally
the best way to clear a mess like that.

"And standing" normally means at most one extra passenger per row of
seats, so 25% over capacity. Good luck carry several extra trains' worth
that way. This is long distance stuff we're talking about, not the
commute from Milton Keynes to Euston.
