Hi guys,
So I have booked myself (Advance) on a train in June to visit Glasgow University. Having been drawn in by the voucher packs the company allow you to buy for refreshments and such, I completely missed the options with regards to seating. I only realised this when I booked another set of tickets to Manchester, and managed to get a quiet seat with a table and socket.
Personally, I don't particularly mind where I sit, so long as there's a plug socket. I work online, and for a 5+ hour train ride, my laptop simply won't go the distance. So my question is, would calling up and politely requesting to be moved just be a waste of time?
Having done some reading on these forums, I believe there are no reservations on one carriage (number six I believe?), which is fine since I will be travelling in the middle of a weekday and getting on at the first stop each time. But obviously, it's better to have that peace of mind in knowing you've got a seat which, if nothing else, helps you get a solid day's work done.
Thanks in advance.
