HT Class 180 Seating Plan

[ushawk]

Im going to Hull using Hull Trains and have been given 2 seat reservations for the return journey and i want to know whereabouts on the train my seats would be.

So i ask you, good people of RUK, can i find a seating plan of a Hull Trains Class 180 anywhere ?

Thanks

Anyone ?

Hull Trains do not permit the publishing of their Seat Plan
You need to contact them directly

I have submitted a request every year, get the same response...

Why is that? Security concerns? Seems a bit odd.

They do not have to make the public and that is their choice

How peculiar, if anything it is a hinderance to passangers.

Who feels like either

a) spamming their facebook page with requests for the seating plan

or

b) taking a journey on hull trains, and then making our own seating plan.

Heard of this before, and think it is very poor, especially as their HomePage proclaims:

•We are recognised as one of the best and most customer focused long-distance train operators in the UK

Is the HT seating by any chance similar to that on Grand Central, that lovely customer focussed company who do provide a seating plan:

I was going to post scanned copies of mine from when I worked for GC but remembered that I think the numbers are in different orders because when we got a 180 on loan from (East Coast then) we had to tell people to ignore the numbers on the seats but to look on the reservation cards. I could be wrong and they may be in the same order though...

Well it's only to the detriment of their customers so it's a bit of an odd decision to make.

Hull Trains are not the only TOC which refuse to make them available to the public

Very unusual policy, given that fellow First Group TOC FGW have seating plans printed in their timetable book.

Don't know how up to date it is, but this might give details for other operators:

Yeah and First Transpennine Express have them in the door areas on 185s

 

[MCR247]

FTPE have them on platforms as well

Possibly because they are not sure they have a train and even less the seating.

I make an annual request to each TOC for updates
Some are archived and unchanged in several years
