I'm afraid in my mind, electronic reservation systems are heavily associated with "the reservation system isn't working today so there are no reserved seats". Which seems to happen at least a third of the time on Pendalinos and Voyagers, and has left me standing for a long distance journey more than once.
I'm willing to believe that a new system might be better, but I also have trepidation about more TOCs replacing a low-tech system that works with a high-tech one that doesn't.
