Avanti standard premium

[Corriman]

I will be traveling from Wigan to Euston with my partner.
I'm considering booking standard premium. Is there a facility to reserve seats opposite each other on a 2 person table?
Which site would be recommended to book advanced tickets.
Thank you advance for any help.

The Avanti Web site does all you are asking for.

Avanti West Coast | Buy Train Tickets | No Booking Fee

Welcome to Avanti West Coast. Buy train tickets and find train times with no booking fees and rewards when you travel. Travel in style across the UK.

www.avantiwestcoast.co.uk

It also has “automatic” Delay Repay, which isn’t automatic, you need to sign up for it explicitly and confirm your delay when it happens.
Otherwise use this site’s ticket site: https://tickets.railforums.co.uk/ which has a seat selector but may not be able to book Standard Premium, someone else will confirm this.

EDIT This site’s new ticketing site, https://tickets-beta.railforums.co.uk/, offers Standard Premium also.

Quick response, thank you.
Had a look on the Avanti, the price is £20 more expensive than train line. Can I do the same reservation on train line.

On some Pendolino journeys or journey legs, standard premium is not available.
Avanti do have a price promise though, if you are saying trainline is cheaper than Avanti. see https://www.avantiwestcoast.co.uk/tickets-and-savings/ways-to-save/our-price-promise.
AFAIK, trainline do not offer standard premium. could be wrong though.

I've never seen Trainline selling Advance Premium tickets on that route and I believe that £20 is the upgrade cost from Standard to SP one way - are you sure you haven't been offered and Standard ticket on TL?

I expect the cheaper price is due to a split.

This is the avanti screenshot for the same train.
I don't think there was a split on the trainline site.
