This one always amazes me about the British rail network - many foreign railways will cheerfully tell you that your train will be in Platform 3, and has seven carriages; coaches A and B are First Class, C is the buffet, bikes and large luggage in G. In Britain, we like to keep all of that a mystery until the last possible moment, hiding behind the suggestion that the people who run the railway haven't got a clue what kind of train they're using, where it's going, or which way around it is.

It's certainly possible, because East Midlands can tell MML passengers how many cars are on a train, which end First is at, and which end has the bike space, before the train arrives, despite a route pattern that leaves some sets the opposite way round in the course of a day's work. Given this, why they don't also say which end Coach A is at (regulars obviously know it is the opposite end to First) is puzzling.
