Heh, I'm not exactly the 'raging', more the 'eye rolling' type, but I can relate each time I travel in German ICE trains with a cramped full second class and empty first class (which is the common situation on weekends). Just getting rid of the first class would pretty much double the train capacity between cities (regional trains already either don't have a first class at all, or a very small section - which also is always empty anyway).
