Trainsplit and Crosscountry double reservation

[Trainbuff]

I always thought the A was for backwards facing, and F for forwards facing (obviously only applies on 4-seat bays or tables). That's how it seems to work on TfW anyway.

A just stands for Airline style seat. Simple as that

Not on TfW. Table seats have the same numbers on both sides, forward facing suffixed F and backwards A. Or at least it was always like that when ATW.

I've only ever seen facing seats with the same number marked as F and B, with A historically denoting airline. It's possible that ATW decided to do it differently, but if they did they are very much the exception

You're correct, I think @trainophile may have made a typo. F = forward, B = back, A (or no suffix) = airline or the train is wholly individually numbered.

Fair enough, the old memory isn’t what it was .

I have 'split' this thread into separate discussions, as there were several issues being discussed here that were not related to the original issue.
