will be travelling up to Scotland in june on an All line Rover ticket, how do I obtain a seat reservation in advance,[cant get ALR until 3 days befor travel]
Does this mean that you would be unable to leave Euston to Glasgow until after 1000 or just to the stations mentioned, and what about travelling from say Bristol at 0700 to Newcastle on XC through train. just to many problems Ican see in the future. We must resist this!
Can anyone help me here, Iwill be having an ALR in the summer, and Iknow you can only buy the ALR 3 DAYS IN ADVANCE. How does one reserve the seat on a night train in advance without a valid ticket? Can any one help?

Simple isn,t it.
