Should I give my seat on the train up for a lady?

I get the late train home every weekend (the commuter) which is always, quite literally, packed; we’re stuffed together like sardines with very little room to move even if standing. If you get a seat you’re literally hemmed in and have to step over people if you need the toilet at any point- you can’t even reach your luggage most of the time.

I give my seat up to ladies if and when I can- but am I excused on a trip such as this, where it is so busy and cramped that to move about is likely to cause problems?

Thanks!
