Just looking at Advance tickets for Friday 24th May, and my preference is to book on VT's own website for the seat selector. However they have hardly any 1st Advances showing as available, only a couple late in the day.
Whereas I am able to book the ticket I want on the TPE website, albeit having to take the seat I am allocated (it's a bit rubbish - it offers 'Individual' in the choices then allocates an aisle seat at a table for four).
Don't know whether to go ahead with the TPE booking or wait and see whether VT catch up. Seems strange that other operators are able to offer VT availability but not VT themselves.
(Edit: forgot to say - Carlisle to Southport)
