Have had numerous instances where drivers have totally disregarded the seat allocations including several occasions when I've booked a front seat. On one trip earlier in the year when I booked those seats I was told by the driver that "the front seats are unavailable as they are too wet" and I ended up sitting right at the back instead. The driver's bags were perfectly happy on the front seats of course.I have booked to go between Aberdeen and Glasgow tomorrow on the 091 service. I’ve been allocated seat 5D, do they rigidly stick to seat allocations on board? as it looks like there is someone allocated the seat next to me with most of the coach empty.
On another occasion, I boarded to find the front seats blocked off with the driver's bags and when I pointed out to the driver I had booked that seat I was told " There's no seat reservations" and "Just because you were first to board, you've got no more right than anyone else to sit in the front seat".
Had a similar thing when I've booked a seat on the back row too. Boarded to find the seats already occupied and when I've queried it I've been told by the drivers "there's no allocated seat numbers".
From my experience I'd say its more likely than not that the seat allocations will go in the bin and you'll end up sitting wherever there is a free seat.
