The 08:33 from Kings Cross is usually a 91+mark 4 set, booked to form off the 04:40 York - Kings Cross which for logistical reasons is easier to allocate a 91 to than an 80x. Occasionally a 5 car 80x will pop up on it if there’s any issues with the Mark 4 fleet.

Coach H is the buffet on LNER Mk4s and is unreserved unless they've displaced reservations from another coach due to a short form or fault in that coach.

Yes, Hitachi's conditions make it very inconvenient to have trains stabled away from a depot overnight. They effectively have to return to a depot midway through the next day.

My sister, who is booked on that train, has had a mail from LNER today stating that reservations will not be in place.

It's not set NL402, that's the diagram number. The set won't be allocated until the day.
Correct, my mistake. I was thinking one thing and typing another whilst checking the diagrams to assist the OP.
But very well spotted. Full marks.
