South West Trains remove seats to ease overcrowding

Referring to the story on the front page, this seems like bad news for people who commute from Isleworth, Brentford, Kew Bridge and Chiswick into Waterloo.Is there a Hounslow public transport action group similar to the Ealing Passenger Transport User Group ( http://www.eptug.org.uk )who would be able to lobby SWT on this issue?If such a group doesn't currently exist, should we form one?

I catch that train from Brentford some mornings and I always get a seat. It gets busy at Chiswick, full at Barnes and packed at Putney. I have written to ask why evening peak trains are often only 4 cars, where overcrowding is, often, worse.
