Travelled to Edinburgh with my family yesterday (12/04) ex Durham on the 10.17.
No complaints about my own journey, but I had to ask four people to move out of our reserved seats upon boarding at Durham. (Normally I wouldn't bother and felt awful asking them to move, but the train was pretty full and I had kids in tow).
The folk I moved insisted (and I pretty much believe them) that the seats were not showing reserved at York. Looking at the electronic displays, it seems that the "this seat is not reserved until xxx" scrolling displays have been replaced by a simple fixed "reserved" or "not reserved".
So, do these displays change on route? If so, how on earth do you undertake a long journey without a prior reservation? Or was it something to do with the fact that the service was short formed? 1x221 instead of 2?
