The inbound ECS is now running 10 late, so looks as though there will be even less time to sort out reservations
But there’s reversing time and a bit of pathing allowance.The inbound ECS is now running 10 late, so looks as though there will be even less time to sort out reservations
What’s the loading like, busy?We are onboard the 0911! Not long passed Berwick! Very zoony trains. Staff are super friendly! Got our pre ordered bacon rolls almost straight away. Plenty of big cheeses from first group wandering up and down. 3 customer ambassadors working the train.
Still going to be late in by my reckoningBut there’s reversing time and a bit of pathing allowance.
Coach d where I am approx 50% only showing 3 green lights for completely unreserved seats. Quite a few Edinburgh to kings cross reservations 2ith noone sat at them!But there’s reversing time and a bit of pathing allowance.

It's not. Duff gen.The southbound is a double, surely not?
Already videos of it heading soutbound, only one unit.
I didn't think so, but not the first time you miss somethingIt's not. Duff gen.
2 down, but that's easily recoverable. 36 mins of recovery in the schedule!1S93 10:45 Kings Cross - Edinburgh has just left Kings Cross.
Plenty of legroom and very comfortable for new style seating!What are the seats like, comfortable?
Same on the southbound it appears, a good few no shows.1 or 2 few empty seats in coach A
Several people with anytime tickets were asked to move by other passengers but sat elsewhere in this coach - which means there must be some no shows
Looks that way to me. Now 2J51 has moved over at Finsbury Park it will probably get a run in behind the Thameslink but will be a few minutes down.
Edit*
As I say that the train has magically jumped to an adjacent line on the diagram i'm watching. These new guys are good!
Is it possible to get a feel for the total number of passengers on the train, because it seems as if the disaster predicted over the last few days hasn’t come close…Moved to coach D and there are lots more empty seats - lots of seat pairs only have one passenger except in A.
Should have just got a table from boarding time as all the good seats are now taken
Part of the reason for this trip was to do York avoiding line so will have to look out from the doors as I have no window
I heard someone (they were in discussion with Geoff Marshall) suggest that there were 300 passengers for 400 seats having counted - initially some standing but a fair number of no shows means that there were seats available. Reservation displays didn't download.Is it possible to get a feel for the total number of passengers on the train, because it seems as if the disaster predicted over the last few days hasn’t come close…

Those getting their retaliation in first must be rather disappointed
Thanks. I expect Geoff will probably have his video out later…I heard someone (they were in discussion with Geoff Marshall) suggest that there were 300 passengers for 400 seats having counted - initially some standing but a fair number of no shows means that there were seats available.

I believe there are 406 seats and I guess there are around 300 passengers
Thanks to you too.I believe there are 406 seats and I guess there are around 300 passengers
Did they do anything to prevent those without reservations from boarding, or was the only check the usual gateline?
There were no checks at all at Edinburgh, Morpeth or Newcastle. Still some seats free from Newcastle, so Lumo's tweet was entirely unjustified fearmongering IMO.Did they do anything to prevent those without reservations from boarding, or was the only check the usual gateline?
