The gentleman on the left knew that I was focusing on the First Class sign, so he was very careful to sit back out of my way.
I love it when that happens...
Thanks for looking,
Moira

Wow! Thanks Ollie, and thanks Tony, that must be the fastest UA on record!
I had been fiddling with the b&w conversion for a while and last night decided to rework it from scratch. I'm quietly pleased with the result.
Moira
And thank you Albert too for your UA, this has only been up for less than 10 minutes! I guess the rest of the day is all downhill from here...

It's an old railway carriage with no corridor - they were mine, all mine... 
Thanks everyone, I'm delighted with the response this is receiving.
Moira
Wonderful image, great composition, textures and tones.
Hugh
Thank you so much for your UA Ken! And thanks to everyone who has called in here. I think I need some breakfast, this has been quite a start to the day!
Moira
And it keeps on coming Moira, love them tones great capture with a title to match.
John
Wow you're off without a shove this morning Moira. 4 awards and just half nine. Are these two brothers by any chance? they do look quite alike? It's a relaxed image which seems to have fallen into your lap in the enclosed carriage. Great vanishing act by the guy on the left.
Well done you,
Dougie
Thanks again folks, and particularly to John for adding his UA - this is quite a morning!
Dougie, no I don't think they were related. They were out for the day with their wives who were sitting to my right and fortunately were keeping their legs in tidily.
This was the third of four shots that I took, by this time the gentleman on the left was quite fascinated by what I was doing. His friend was in a world of his own.
Moira
the expressions are wonderful, so is your treatment
The power of the image. At first it looks like a grab shot/candid, but there's so much detail in the scene and unanswered questions about the gents that it keeps your attention for far longer than usual.
Dave
Just got back indoors from steadying a ladder for Bill and this is on six UAs - I've never had anything like that before! I treasure UAs, because they are democratic. Thanks to Yung and Sandy for adding theirs, and thanks to everyone who has called in here today, it's been an amazing start to the week!
Moira
What a super capture, Moira, and a great title, too 
That's a very nice looking railway carriage (looks very comfy!), and the mono processing is spot-on - wish my monos looked this good!
I decided when I saw this it was going to have my UA, even before I saw all the others listed below, so you've 7 of 'em now!
Trev
I think he is very suspicious of your actions Moira.
Great shot.
David
Glad you explained the scenario as I thought the two men had an argument or something
Thank you Trev, and thanks again everyone else! This is proving to be quite a day!
Trev, I processed the b&w conversion using Silver Efex Pro 2, the High Structure (smooth) filter, but with Brightness and Contrast both reduced a bit and some further work afterwards particularly on the midtones. I had already done quite a bit on the RAW file, because the light balance between the two sides was very tricky.
Moira
A first class image Moira, and a must for Mono. (No, not Mono Rail)
John
A beaut! One wants to keep looking. Wonderful compo Moira, and excellent rich tones in this one.
Anne
Thanks again folks and thanks to Nick for his UA - that rounds off an amazing day just perfectly!
Moira
A first class carriage for a first class image, well done with all these awards Moira, quite a collection.
A superb capture Moira - many congratulations on its many awards

Ha ha Moira , how to catch a man! Never thought of this sort of carriage. Looks great in mono . You have such Nerve xxx
One of your very best Moira, this one fully deserves all the accolades it has received
Two things I love, Black and White and a candid moment .. Love it
A most lovely street shot ! I like how they look alike physically and in their expression and at the same time looking at opposite ways.
