I can explain in two words why they have this attitude: government and schools.
And some parents  :cry:

My favourite train trip was a sleeper over to Venice..
I have never seen a more magnificent sight than that of Venice appearing out of the sea..

I never travel on trains, I can't even remember my last journey by train, it must have been over 25  years ago ! But it was a scenic trip to South Wales.

Quote from: GrannyMac on Today at 09:06:46 AMI've always liked travelling on trains, I take a book, get a coffee, watch the scenery, etc. I came home from Cheshire by train on Monday. The first leg, (Stoke to Manchester train) through lovely villages, to Stockport, was as ever, fine.  The next leg on the train that came from Manchester?  Not quite so civilised.

I was concerned even before travelling that it was a bank holiday, but when I bought my ticket, well in advance, there was no option to book seats, and I had to come home that day.  Then the train before mine was cancelled, which never bodes well, and when mine pulled in I could see it was already busy with lots of us waiting on the platform.  I got on, and spotted a window seat, with a large bag on it, at a table for four.  I asked the young chap next to it if it was anyone's seat (you never know)? He grunted, 'I suppose you want me to shift my bag!'  I said, 'well, yes'. An old woman, looking for a seat on a very crowded train, and he thought it was ok to have a seat for his bag!

He very grudgingly put it on the luggage rack and I sat down.  There was an announcement a few minutes later asking people to move luggage off any spare seats. Surely that's a no-brainer? The whole aisle was full of standing passengers and their luggage, H&S would have had a fit! 

Apologies for long post, just wanted to warn people how difficult it might be.
You did right to ask him to move it.  So many young people these days don't give a toss for anyone else other than themselves.
