I recently travelled with TPE from Newcastle to Leeds.
I actually had a seat allocation in carriage B, with a table as requested, but not by the window, so I wasn't too keen on that idea (I had assumed the train would have been busy, as I got my £1 in the recent sale)
I waited for the train to arrive (coming in late from Liverpool) so as it turned out I was standing near the front of the train, so near carriage D, rather than B. No sign was visible, so I asked a fellow passenger whether this was carriage B. She replied, no, it was carriage D, the unreserved carriage .. she added, she always sat here as it's usually pretty empty. She was right .. for our journey, there were only 5 people, at least until it arrived at York.
My question .. is carriage D always unreserved ?
I am travelling with a friend to Berwick in a couple of weeks .. I booked the tickets and asked for table seats .. we got these .. just at different tables. If carriage D is always unreserved, we can go there
