There is no rule here - unlike Paris - which prohibits the use of tip

Unless the seats were centrally locked up by the driver, or better still, on
a time switch.


I have this mental picture of a sadistic train driver flipping a switch at
4:59 pm and watching 40 people's shocked expressions as they jump up to avoid
being swatted in the bum by their tip-up seats.
