Great story Phil, i did'nt realise that the steward could put you in a sleeping compartment's with a complete stranger, do they still do this?
I believe that in India its still common practice on long distance trains A mate told me he was travelling on an overnight train in India, it was a six seat compartment that converted to four bunks, when he pointed out to the other five passengers that six into four won't go, they replied that it was a simple solution ----- four on the bunks and two on the floor!!!!
