Hi everyone,
Trying to book two tickets tomorrow on 08:55 Derby to STP however I am not able to get a seat reservation. Would anyone know which carriages are unreserved in a 10 car formation please?

Hello, I noticed on Friday evening, a 5 coach voyager pulled up for this route. Is this a rarity as I was under the impression only 4 coach voyagers were used on this route?
Hi,
I was travelling on 1306 Edinburgh to Plymouth train which was routed as a HST http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/P30988/2015/02/06/advanced
However instead of a HST, it was replaced with a voyager.
Have XC expanded there fleet?
