It is not just elderly ladies that I have offered my seat to.
I get the 1719 service out of Lansdowne to Donabate each evening (although they changed the timetable from 1723 to 1719 it still comes at around 1723).
Last December there was a mid-thirties lady with her Christmas Shopping in paper bags. The floor was soaked with dirty footprints and she was struggling to stand under the weight of the bags. I gave her my seat and she sat with the bags on her knees.
Being a 29 year old male I am probably one of the least deserving people on the train for a seat so would give it up to just about anyone.
I do get very annoyed with people sitting on the ground or on portable seats though.
