Some train operators are being arsey about letting obvious leisure travellers on - e.g. people with bikes. I had some friends refused at Oxford by GWR last week, which would be the same operator as Swindon.

It'll probably all change after July 4th mind.

That's pretty fucked when people are allowed to drive to beaches and stuff.

I could understand if carriages were getting towards capacity but we'll see at 6am on a weekday and if it's too busy, try something else.

Exactly, not allowed because leisure journeys are non-essential (although people are doing it anyway).

Meanwhile, car drivers can make all the unnecessary leisure trips they like.
