If your son is off to do DofE

[drspouse]

And he's travelling from London and going to the Lakes...
Can you just ring him up and tell him if he can't carry his backpack from his seat to the luggage racks and thinks the aisle or someone else's seat are good places to put it... He's unlikely to be able to carry it round Derwent Water.
While you're at it, explain seat reservations and wireless charging.
(I'm sure they are nice lads, but just a bit clueless).

Or better yet have some maturity, sort the situation out in person and don’t post passive aggressive messages on online forums OP?

Maybe a kindly fellow passenger could politely help these youngsters finding their way in the world.

I did point out that people sit in seats and bags go on the bag rack...
I just thought it was amusing (that they couldn't carry the bags to the end of the carriage, not my post).

Perhaps they will acquire some practical skills whilst doing their DofE?

Here's hoping!
At least their maps looked organised so there's promise there.
