Morning, just looking for a bit of clarification on what might be going on with seat reservations:
trying to book 1500 EUS - MAN 29th June. Tickets are available, off peak std, and anytime and anytime first. I'm able to book standard £37 one-way, but unable to reserve a seat.
I'm also able to book first class, but also unable to book a first class seat, which seems very weird.
Looking to come back on 1st July - no seat reservations available either.
Two questions: Am I trying to book too far in advance, and the seat reservations are not yet available? Bookinghorizons suggests they *would* be available to reserve (going by the last time that page was updated - 23rd March => 22nd June, so now it's 2nd April, I'm assuming I could reserve up til 1st July).
Tickets for 29th June would only have gone on sale as of this weekend - should I just assume that every reservation possible on this15:00 train has been sold out already?
Supplementary question:
I've just had to book tickets without a seat, near 3 months in advance... Is it possible to get a seat reservation after making a booking, should reservations become available?
Thanks
