According to the people I was sat amongst in Coach A, the individual in question was in a Facebook group that had about 50 people on board including them, so I assume he was well enough known that he couldn’t be moved without causing further upset.
Saw before that some enthusiasts had been able to purchase the old seats from a carriage, would anyone know if Newport Sims would be likely to offer the same courtesy if asked?
(apologies if this is in the wrong place)
