Does not work for free with a saver ticket, indeed (€17.50 charge) I didn't find that page when looking earlier.

As an example, in the UK, it is possible to pay separately to upgrade a second class ticket to first, by buying an "excess fare" ticket for the difference.

The point about having 2 seats for the price of one outside busy periods in second class is well made.

Thanks for the suggestions.
