I'm making a booking on the above train for next week and I've run in what appears to be a glitch on the VTEC booking web site. (Cue much astonishment - not.)
I asked it to reserve a forward facing seat at a table in the quiet coach. It found me a backward facing seat. I went in to the seat map and it showed two tables (seats B23 to B30) with no reserved seats around them. I selected a forward facing window seat and went back to the journey preferences page where it showed the seat I had selected, facing forwards but with no tick next to "table". Which seemed odd.
If I select the seat across the "table" from the one I selected, it shows as backwards facing, but again no tick against "table".
Does the VTEC web site not understand the layout of the company's trains, or is something else going on here?
