Got on my usual London Manchester train this morning to find coach G missing it's First Class headrests, although the outside still labelled First. The Service Manager said this is now permanent on the 9 coach sets in preparation for the proper conversion of that coach to Standard (to avoid confusion during the transition, it will now always be declassified - makes sense). I haven't seen any other 9 coach sets this morning though, so can't confirm whether they are all like this.

And to answer my own question - the train waiting in the other platform at Piccadilly still had coach G as First Class, so not sure whether this was a one-off (perhaps on over-enthusiastic on-board team!)
