Night Riveria sleeper configuration change

[Sleepy]

GWR are changing the number of solo berths from 8 to 6 per coach so the twin cabins must have become more popular ? Unless this is to match the layouts of the new stock ? .:-

What new stock would that be then?

There is no new stock.

The discussion re the Night Sleeper is here. I've had a look through but although there is a lot of discussion re the stock and any changes, I can't find anything which would answer the question of the OP:-

I would suspect the reduction of solo berths and increase in twin berths (which single passengers can share with a stranger) is solely to increase capacity/passenger numbers and hence revenue. Nothing more complicated than that.

Same reason you can no longer get the Standard solo berth supplement (I believe) on the Caley sleeper.

Single passengers can't share with a stranger on the Night Riviera.

OK, thought they could - thanks for clarifying.

As posted on Night Riviera thread already, this is to increase capacity further. Current, 4 double with 8 single. New, 6 double with 6 single. This is until the refurbished fleet is completely done when capacity will increase again.
