If you get on a train and you see an empty seat but you are not sure if someone is using it ask the passenger sitting the closest to the empty seat the following question.

You

Excuse me, do you know if this seat is taken?

Fellow Passenger

It’s free now the man that was using it got off at this station.

You

Thank you.

Are you going to London?

Yes I’m meeting my family there.

Fellow Passenger

Ah a family reunion.  

You

Sort of.

Fellow Passenger

Well I hope you have a good time.

Thank you.

You’re welcome.
