Title: HST Coach K and L Seat Maps
Post by: SandTEngineer on March 31, 2016, 18:05:55
Does anybody know where to find numbered seat maps for the current layouts in Coaches K and L?  I have searched the web to no avail.  Even those linked to on the GWR website itself are the old pre-updated layouts.

There are at least 3 varieties of K which would be an interesting one to try and explain to a customer looking to rely on the layout.

3? I know there's the large kitchen + first class type and then the composite 1st + standard, what's the third?

Large kitchen, numbered 407xx
Smaller kitchen, numbered 408xx or 402xx (can't remember if seating layout is different between the two types)
Buffet only, numbered 409xx
Composite coach, numbered 406xx

Thanks for all the responses so far.  I think I now have the answer to my question.

Thanks, didn't realise there are 2 sizes of kitchen!

Just to reiterate content from a lengthy past thread, there are only 1.5 coaches of first class these days, with the 0.5 sharing a coach with either a small or large kitchen, a buffet counter, or 0.5 standard class?

In the case of the composite coach, where is the buffet counter? Still in coach F? It's quite a while since I've done a long enough journey on an HST to have noticed the consist...!

Sets with a composite coach K have a micro buffet in Coach F. Micro buffet carriages have around 70 standard Class seats.
