Situation:
Someone has a (cheap) advance ticket booked and now I have decided to go too and am going to book a ticket, the quota of tickets at £10 has gone, they are now on the next tier which is £14 or so.
Assuming the aisle seat is still available (the already booked one is a window seat),if I book at a ticket office how much flexibility do they have with what seats are offered? The staff are friendly so if it possible, they will do their best to help.
For example will the window seat be part of the £10 quota and therefore already be gone?
I wouldn't normally be too fussed and would just ask the conductor if it is ok to sit somewhere else with my advance ticket, but the service is a South TPE one and the diagram is a Class 170 which usually means something resembling a rugby scrum when it arrives at Manchester Piccadilly before it departs.
