Hmm. I'm getting two coaches on the EDB - FTW leg too. Coach S and coach A. Guests from FTW should only be in the ex-Aberdeen coach. Will have to have a look.
73966 worked 5C11 last night with 92023 on rear, as it firstly reversed from Polmadie into Glasgow (023 doing the draw-back), then ran via the Sub to turn the stock (73966 hauling).
the website isn't giving me the option to select my seat,
Are you sure? You need to click on the box in the lower left (highlighted in green in my screenshots above) to be given the options - I didn't realise this at first.
Travelled on last night's lowlander between Euston and Glasgow and have to say it was a bit of a disappointment.
Was first class in a solo birth (J02) and the cabin was freezing, breakfast albeit preordered was wrong, the 90 that took us lost time then picked it back up again, and found the staff a bit offish. Asked for breakfast to be served around Carstairs and finally got it luke warm at Motherwell.
Next time I'll go Virgin last thing or in the morning. At £200 for a fare too it was expensive.
adjust the temperature using the toggle switch?
I always stick it to freezing cold as soon as I get on in the spring/summer otherwise I roast all night.I've found this is good when it works. Some times though it ends up freezing or too warm, regardless of the setting you have it on. Hopefully okay tonight. Booked on 1S26.
Did you try and adjust the temperature using the toggle switch?
Power goes off on arrival at Carstairs for the split so that may be a factor as to why you got it at Motherwell.
86401 on the front of the highlander at euston. 92043 on the back presumably to take us onwards after reversing at wembley. Inverness seated coach seems to be functional so far...

Oh no it hasn’t.

Noticed while making a booking this evening that the sleeper website seems to be giving out any reservation it likes, even when choosing a 1st class ticket, it still reserves you a standard berth. Would appear this issue has been ongoing for a while now and still hasn't been resolved.

i.e. with double occupancy?
Yes. I had this issue a few weeks ago when I booked a solo "1st" berth, although noticed my reservation was one of the double, standard, ones. Turned up for the train and was ofcourse allocated it. The host tried to tell me that my ticket wasn't for a solo, despite stating on the ticket it was "1st solo" and was pretty much told tough, deal with it.
Did you have to share? If so I would be on them for a partial refund.
After around 30 minutes of explaining to the host, I didn't need to. Was offered £5 compensation voucher.
Thanks for the info tim also seen 90029 dropping 92019 of at wembley eufoc and hurriedly returning to crewe so a fair bit of 90 and 92 activity yesterday.90047 on the other end (for 1S26 later).
90042 heading back to FL at Crewe for B Exam tomorrow.
First time on the seats in a few weeks, can you get away with having a look around the train etc. or are you stuck (as you're supposed to be) in the seated carriage?
