A simple trip from Wakefield Westgate to Harrogate on LNER this morning
‘You must have a seat reservation’ announcement at Wakefield Westgate station by the manual staffed announcer
‘You must have a seat reservation’ announcement by the guard upon the train arrival / departure at Leeds
...Followed by the guard partially coming down the train and checking passengers had a seat reservation and ‘advising’ if not!
Seemed rather overkill for a journey which essentially has enough passengers for a single passenger in each coach with some left over to spare! (Also the reservation system onboard was turned off anyway so technically I would argue the reservations mean nothing anyway!)
