Go onto the Atoc travel trade website, sign up on a friday night, then you get the weekend to download everything on their site before they just delete your account.

Are there any seating plans of the Virgin Pendolino

 

[rail-britain]

I already have seating plans for the Pendolino, see above
I always try and book seat J35 or G45 when travelling southbound and J28 or G38 when travelling northbound

Tried uploading attachment, penplan.gif but just ends up in a blank page

 

[me123]

Yes 395, they are available from V-Flyer.

Any seat plans for the 395 Olympic Javelin

I'm already registered as a sales agent of rail tickets, but some of the seat plans are pretty poor

Any seat plans for the 395 Olympic Javelin

I'll check shortly, but I would doubt it very much until 3 months before they enter public service

Interesting, can you get hold of the latest Avantix Traveller for NFM96 doing that? I would suggest everyone not trying Ascot's suggestion as otherwise they'll plug the loophole. Hopefully Ascot can let us know what he has that he could distribute or can be obtained via that method so as to avoid registering if not necessary because Atoc will get wise sooner or later.

What idiot runs this website? It always has loopholes!

 

[Turbostar]

Yeh, it's not a problem signing up as far as I can see, but what is the penalty once they twig on your not a travel agent etc.?

Delete your account, just don't use the same email twice.

How is it possible to sign up? It appears they require a rail licence code?

You need to register as a Travel Agent, complete two forms, and they send you the pack in the post
You then file the completed forms
They then DD you £300 plus VAT
You then need to attend their training
If you don't meed the sales forecast (minimum £52K a year) the agreement is terminated

That's not the ATOC website, that's just Virgin Trains own, here is the ATOC one :

I'd be interested in seeing a seating plan for the GNER Mk4 Mallard if anyone has an up to date copy. I've got one but it appears they've changed it.

This is the version I have which I believe is now incorrect: http://joycewhitchurch.care4free.net/mallard.jpg

Are there any seat plans for the Class 175 Cordia

 

[rail-britain]

Can anyone provide details for other seating plans, where reservations are recommended, especially the following?
FGW HST / RIO

I received the FGW HST seating plans this morning, but the print outs only show half the coach!
So I have had to scan, send them back, and request replacements

I would very much doubt it, but I will contact Arriva and ask

 

[rail-britain]

Replacement FGW seating plans, for HST arrived last week
A further letter arrived, advising they are on their website, but I have been unable to find them, anyone find them?

What website then we can look?

 

[Gizmogle]

There's some FGW HD HST seating plans here...
http://cjm.fotopic.net/c1164891.html

 

[devon_metro]

...which are out of date.

LD has 4 tables per coach
HD has 2 tables per coach

Simple

 

[rail-britain]

What website then we can look?

The letter is from First Great Western, and this is the link they provided
http://www.firstgreatwestern.co.uk
I tried all kinds of searches, but unable to find the seat plan, and even tried here :
http://www.firstgreatwestern.co.uk/SiteMap.aspx

"Thank you for your letter of 18 August 2007 regarding information on the floor plans of the HST trains This is availabe at www.FirstGreatWestern.co.uk Thank you for your letter I hope this response is satisfactory"

Well, no they are not there and no it is not satisfactory

Doesn't matter now as someone else at FGW posted the replacements to me
Just curious if they actually are on the website

They are on their interweb at

Sorry to drag an old thread up - but does anyone have up-to-date seating plans for NXEC? Both HST and Mk4?

Do they even publish them? Cheers.

Ironic, the latest National Express East Coast seating plans were released this morning
We've been waiting patiently for them
I compared them to my current ones and they are identical

[rail-britain]

Those Virgin Trains ones look unchanged from 2006
They are about to change once all the sets are remarshalled with the Shop as Coach B, which will completed shortly

A la Internet, or are they just hard print copy only?

 

[rail-britain]

They are both types
Some of the ones I have received are hard copy prints only, like those from FGW of which the first set are useless but the replacements were much better!
The Class 175 ones from ATW are also print outs
All the others are either PDF, JPG, GIF, or TIF

I've not got many more to go, so I will scan the printed out ones, I will then upload them all in one format type, and then arrange

A small update for 2010

The East Coast Seating Plans on their website

Cross Country Seating Plans arrived this morning and are now on the website
HST 7 car
Voyager
Turbostar

 

[Geezertronic]

Yes 395, they are available from V-Flyer.

They've not been available on V-Flyer for a while now (not that I could find anyway) - you get a 404 error.

To add to the link given by First Class, the VT 390 and 221 seating plans are also available at:
