According to RTT this service will only have 5 coaches

Yet when checking Trainsplit they are allowing seat reservations based on a 9 coach service.

Which is correct please?

Facilities on the 1C79 10:57 London Paddington to Plymouth due 14:11.

Will be formed of 5 coaches instead of 9.
I think control rooms have the facility to "close" reservations in this kind of case but looks like it's hasn't been done. Tweet GWR maybe.

Thanks for that.
So that will be full and standing for sure.
As a disabled passenger who cannot stand for that time I will have to look at options as I have a connection at Exeter at 1357

802019 is allocated so definitely a 5 car. I doubt the reservations will even load on the set because 9 into 5 won’t go!
Not heavily reserved in 1st, you could always ask the guard about sitting in the disabled area in coach E.
