I have never understood the giving up your seat thing. Not being able to see has nothing to do with my ability to stand. I have allways felt bad when someone gave up their seat for me on a bus.

Sadly this is getting more prevalent in London were showing even a basic politeness to people (even regardless of disability) is now a thing of the past

Just to play the devils advocate- perhaps the other passengers had their own invisible disabilities? Granted, the shouldve acknowledged the dude to at least say "hey sorry but the seats are full," but still, we don't know what those passengers mightve been dealing with

I'm confused. Unless the guy has some disability other than blindness, he can stand just as well as anyone else.

When travelling on the tubes in London you are packed in like sardines. When you have a guide dog with you and you are standing by the doors and people don't let you further down the carriage. Your guide dog is squashed between passengers feet or gets stood on. People are pushing and rushing to get on and off the train. This is more of an issue in London. The rest of the UK I never have a problem. The issue is more about the dogs safety.
