From this and this I get the impression that what must have happened was that lots of seats were reserved from London, reservations that weren't taken up (lots of people who reserve seats seem to be content to just sit elsewhere when they realise the train isn't too full), and train staff only removed the reservation cards later
Nope. Take a look at the first picture in this (11.07am):
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-37167700He's walking past empty, unreserved seats - when they are reserved the cards are clearly visible.
Something doesn't add up here though because if there were empty, unreserved seats, how come other people were also sitting on the floor?

I'd expect him on principle not to sit in a seat marked 'reserved' at the time. Still maladroit to then release such a video, if my surmise is correct.
