I used the seated sleeper between Fort William and Dalmuir on Monday evening. I had huge problems getting a reservation but eventually managed to get one from a very helpful clerk at York station on Sunday afternoon (I've no idea how she managed it but there was a fair bit of *******isation involved).
Anyway, seated the coach itself was the hired in DRS one in ex-Virgin Trains livery. Is this always the case these days? Frankly it was in a disgraceful state and hardly fit for a flagship overnight service with sky high prices.

Door between carriage and vestibule not working automatically
At least the train did run - last time I tried to do it I had to get a replacement coach as it was cancelled.
Those Mk2s are hired in from Riviera, so unfortunately expect that as standard from their stock unfortunately.
