Do you want to sit down on the Overground during rush hour? Then prepare for war

A few days ago, on an Overground train from Highbury to Kensington, I had a shocking experience - I failed to get a seat. If you know how crowded the Overground can get at rush hour, this might not sound all that surprising. Believe me, though, I was good at getting seats. I'd learnt the ropes and tend to overanalyse behaviour on public transport, so it had never been a problem. But I'd been away for a few weeks and my seat-acquisition skills had gone beyond rusty - they were useless.
