I'm currently travelling on a TPE 185 between Stockport and Doncaster. I have a reserved seat booked through the forum using the seat picker. There are no reservation displays on the 185, and no reservation cards have been put on the seats. Is this normal, or just a one-off?

I have definitely seen reservation cards on them recently and I've not heard anything to say they've been stopped.
Your train had a good 50 mins turnaround at Liverpool so I can only assume the printer is broken.

I have seen a 6 carriage class 185 train formation with the carriage letters in the wrong part of the train but the reservation cards still placed (in the wrong lettered carriages). If your service is 6 carriages this could the case.

I travelled on three trains formed of 185(s) on Friday and Saturday and all had reservation cards. These were all on the Redcar-Manchester Airport axis.
