Location and layout of carriage

[scaredycat]

I hope that you will bear with me. I am a lady of a certain age and am travelling alone to North Wales. I have a reserved seat on a virgin train from Euston to Chester, it is Coach B Seat 11. Would anyone be able to tell me if Coach B will be at the front of the train at Euston and also if my seat will be facing forward. Im also hoping that there will be a luggage rack as I will have a small suitcase.

On my return journey I will be in Coach B Seat 35. The location of the carriage at Chester, whether my seat will be facing forward or backwards and if there is a luggage rack nearby would be much appreciated for this return trip.

Thanks for your patience

Your seats will be forward facing both ways. There's a useful plan of the Virgin Trains web site which shows the train/carriage layouts (you will be travelling on a Super Voyager): https://www.virgintrains.co.uk/experience/our-trains

And for luggage space, it really depends on how big your suitcase is. I've found that my suitcase does fit in the electric Pendolino overhead racks, whereas the racks in the Diesel-type voyager (which runs to North Wales/Chester) are a little smaller, and thus doesn't fit overhead.
So in those cases, you could store the luggage in the luggage racks that can be found at either end of the carriage. Or if you're travelling at a calm hour, and you'd like to keep it closer to you, you might be able to just store it nearer to you, by putting it in the legroom of a seat.
