I have been in a similar situation myself, this is usual coming in and out of Manchester, I was arriving on a not so busy pendolino into Piccadilly, and as some of you will know the VT services use platforms 5 to 8 usually, and the Norhtern rail terminating serviuces use platforms 1 to 4, so arriving beside us was a 142 that looked quite busy, Im pretty sure there were people standing.
Remember this happening another time on a 390 when it was 'racing' against a 185 into Piccadilly.
