Yesterday went to buy return tickets for Manchester- Totnes(Devon) in February. Two people travelling together ( or not!), one pays full fare, the other on BR retired staff pass. The helpful person in the ticket office said he could not make seat reservations together as there has to be two separate transactions , not one for two people.The implication being that if two people were buying tickets (total near £300), that seat reservation would be adjacent. However , he did manage to make the seat reservations for all parts of the journey to be in the same coaches. Please can an expert explain what goes on here?
