Can someone help me.
I am planning a two week trip on the above ticket.
Can I get seat Reservations in advance of the 3 days?
What about sleeper services?
Is the 3 days before the start date, ie 3 days then the start date?
i look forward to your replies.

You can typically get seat reservations significantly further in advance and it’s recommended on longer journeys on services that are likely to be busy. You’ll be able to reserve a seat on the sleeper, there’s a charge for a berth supplement which always used to be quite reasonable but is now quite a bit more expensive.

Any ticket office should be able to reserve a seat on any reservable train for you, it might be worth having a look for seat maps of trains online and choosing as they should be able to select one (I think).

You shouldn’t have to present the ticket if you tell them your intentions.

You could also get your reservations online through the GWR website, by registering for an account and then going to My Bookings -> "Make a seat/bike reservation". This is completely independent of the ticket buying process so you can do it before you even buy your ALR.

Re: Sleeper services, you will have to book quite a lot more than 3 days in advance if you want to guarantee being able to get a berth. Some of them sell out weeks or months in advance. For seats it's generally less problematic (in fact the Night Riviera doesn't even mandate a seat reservation) but that is obviously a much less comfortable way to travel. Either way you are best off going through the GWR or Caledonian Sleeper websites; both are able to sell you a berth upgrade or issue a seat reservation for use with your ALR.

If you want to take advantage of their seat selector to pick a specific seat on their services, you can book seat reservations through the LNER website:

Make a seat reservation for our trains | LNER

If you're traveling with LNER make sure you have a seat reservation with your ticket for a comfortable journey. Make one here if your ticket or pass doesn't already have one.

Since when have Night Riviera sleeper reservations been available to book online?

Unless it's changed very recently you can't book a cabin online without buying a ticket at the same time, you would have to visit a ticket office or phone GWR to do this.
