Hi
Living in Rugby, I travel on Pendolinos quite often and I always head for coach A (northern end, standard class) because it is almost always the emptiest area of the train. I usually find that Coach B is the standard class quiet coach -- this is probably one of the reasons for Coach A's emptiness. Yesterday I found myself travelling to East Croydon and back to watch a football match, via Watford Junction. On the way there the train was in 'reverse operation' so having run to the back end of the train i found myself at the other end of first class to where i needed to be. I rushed back up to Coach A which was empty, despite my belief that the closest coach to the end of the platforms at Euston would logically be the most full. On the way back from Watford I found that Class A was quite coach, and not Coach B.
Are the quiet coach classifications on Pendolinos interchangeable or are they changing it across the fleet or what?
