An investigation is under way after musicians were told to buy train tickets for seats for cellos on a First Great Western service.

If the train was full, then I am rather on the side of the ticket colector. But if the train was empty then it is case of a petty "Jobsworth".

Maybe the musicians should have got out their cellos and played. That would have cleared the carriage.
