Anyone good with seat numbers in FGW refurbished First Class carriages (HSTs)? I am struggling to find any seating plan online as the only ones they have are either the old ones with 2.5 First Class carriages, or the refreshed ones still with B and F designations.

I have a batch of reservations for Coach L, Seats 1-10. Anyone know which ones are around tables and which are individual ones? Ta.

I can confirm that seats 11b/f & 12b/f are table seats in coach L if that's of use, no info on any others, sorry.

B and F? The ones I got no longer have B/F designation.

L1 is the disabled & companion space
L4, 7, 10 are individual
L2/3 B&F, 5/6 B&F, 8/9 B&F are tables.

First class has a different numbering system to standard, where by table seats are n1B n2B n1F n2F around a table, where as standard the seats are individually numbered.

I don't know if these seat numbers have been set up correctly for this service as what plymothian says sounds consistent with the seat map, but there was definitely no F or B in any standard or first seats on this service. Are GWR changing the seat numbers maybe or...?

GWR have just changed to individual seat numbering in First Class, within the last couple of weeks. I doubt the new seat numbering has 'gone live' yet. I can't remember the date for the change, may well be the December timetable change. I don't think new seating plans have been issued yet. The instruction to staff was basically to trust the system to match any preferences inputted.
