Anyone who uses public transport (trains) can tell you that the

I disagree. I rarely travel in to London on a train where all seats
are occupied, and the same applies coming out, often right in the
height of the evening peak. Furthermore plenty of these trains are 4-
or 8-cars long, despite parts of the infrastructure being capable of
handling 12.

The fact remains that some train operators are looking at ways to reduce the
number of people wishing to travel by increasing ticket prices - I don't
have references, but read this in one of the newspapers last week. This
therefore comfirms that these operators feel that their trains are "nearly
full". You're lucky if you can get a seat on your train - you obviously
don't travel on my line during peak hours.
