Ok this is not my mess up but I was involved.
I just took a trip on the TGV (French high speed train). Got on and found my seat in the right carriage etc only to see it was already occupied. I ask the bloke why he is in my seat (nicely though) and he tells me its his. We compare tickets and indeed we seem to have the same reservation so we call the conductor. He spots what we had both missed. The other chap is a month early... yes really a MONTH early. How is that even possible??? Anyway it cost him a full price First Class ticket...
