I booked some tickets on East Coast tonight, using the new seat reservation map, and it ignored my requests! I asked to be seated in Coach K on the way out, and Coach B on the way back. Instead, it gave me M and E! (For the record, yes I do have 1st class on the way out and Standard on the way back!). I did pick the seats and confirmed them, and the reservations did change but when I got to the final screen they changed back to what they were before. I don't know what stage they changed back at, because I wasn't paying attention to that small detail.
I've fired an e-mail off to East Coast to ask if they can rectify the situation; in particular stressing that I was seeking seats in the quiet coach. What are the chances of them changing the reservations, bearing in mind that I've booked Advance tickets for both legs of the journey? (I appreciate that they're next to nil, but if you don't ask you don't get).
