    Looking to book a reservation for a journey on LNER

    How does the physical distancing work? For example, I guess there is just one person per table? *Edit* I'm looking at seats for the 13th of August but some rows have one seat greyed out. Does this mean that the greyed out seat is occupied, or does it mean it's un-bookable? I really want to...

    Inverness Barriers

    it seems the new barrier staff at Inverness will not allow anyone on the platforms unless they are travelling as I asked earlier if I could go and photograph this train(http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/U51884/2014/10/11/advanced) later and they said no.
