And a rather stupid idea, because coach C also contains the buffet, so has fewer standard class seats than everything except coach A.On 9 coach pendolino services C is the only unreserved coach. This predates avanti by many years.
Coach F used to be unreserved rather than C. I seem to remember reading on here that the change was to allow more seats to be reserved/sold, but that could well be wrong. It was nicer to have the two standard unreserved coaches on an 11-car (i.e. F and U) next to each other.
Much prefer U , C is a bit dingy
I’m on the service from Glasgow to Euston and the powers that be have made the decision to classify basically only half a carriage as unreserved. Who makes these frankly ridiculous decisions?
Ok, I reserve a seat and then decide not to travel, I’ve just taken a seat for someone else, seats are unreserved for a reason...Who makes the decisions? The other 400 odd people who decided to travel on the Friday afternoon of half term and wisely chose to reserve a seat.
Because no-one has reserved them?Ok, I reserve a seat and then decide not to travel, I’ve just taken a seat for someone else, seats are unreserved for a reason...
Yes, but for some reason people won’t sit in a seat even when it becomes apparent that the person who reserved it aren’t showing upBecause no-one has reserved them?
If you choose not to travel, your seat becomes free shortly after departure and anyone can use it.

I think K is only unreserved on 9 carriage sets and on 11 carriage sets I think it is G as whenever possible I always reserve a seat in K.K is the unreserved first class coach. On some services C F U and K are all unreserved
I think K is only unreserved on 9 carriage sets and on 11 carriage sets I think it is G as whenever possible I always reserve a seat in K.
Also I thought F is no longer an unreserved carriage on any Pendolinos?
Funnily enough I’ve just been on a Avanti train from London to Glasgow. Almost fully reserved. Fantastic to see the train so busy at that time in the morning!

Since LNER have introduced their new fares to Edinburgh I find it more cost effective just to buy a super off peak single...If you're talking about a bunch of regional routes, then maybe, I see that on TPE pretty frequently, but the number of people reserving on long distance London services that aren't on advances is surely minimal
As in every seat with a seat reservation?

I doubt it. Whenever you book a flexible ticket online you're asked if you want a seat reservation. I always get one for the train I'm most likely to get, even if I ultimately end up on a different service.
Should be mostly 11 cars on Glasgow service ?
What carriages are reserved the heaviest on pendos?
