Would weekend first be available on Monday 7th May (travelling on the 08:30 EC service from EDB to KGX). My diary states it is a holiday Monday.

(my bold)EC said:Standard Class passengers can now travel in extra comfort at a new low price on East Coast services on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays, by upgrading to First Class accommodation on payment of the relevant supplement
I believe they say it's on a space-available basis or similar wording.
Sometimes I think its subject to availability of ticket stock rather than seats when you upgrade to get a seat only for first to become standing like the rest of the train and you relies that you are most likely the only person with a valid first class ticket and by being honest in seeking out the guard to buy one yo have lost out.
Ok, this is fairly rare but it has happened to me twice now. :-x
Is there a bit missing in here?

On two occasions I have upgraded to Weekend First, only for First to become full and standing like the rest of the train, and I realised that I was most likely the only person with a valid first class ticket and by being honest in seeking out the guard to buy one I have lost out.
