First Class Seat Maps

Does anyone have any links to FGW^▸ (First Great Western) HST^▸ (High Speed Train) seat maps? (Have done a search but couldn't find anything)

Traveling over Christmas in coach H seat 10F and wanted to know if it's what Eurostar would call a 'Club Duo' (ie just one seat facing another) or if its part of a group of four.

It should be a table for two

Hello, gumbieben, and welcome to the Coffee Shop forum!

I've also tried finding such seating maps before now, but had to give up, too ...

First Class is easy one as they all have tables.

I will TRY and get seat maps, but I make no promises.

You can work it out like this (in first class, anyway...) Seat 1 is a table of two; seats 2 and 3 and a table of four; seat 4 is a table of 2; 5 and 6 are a table of 4; and so on and so on...

Haven't seen any standard class seat maps - also depends on whether you get a HD or an LD set: they seem to be used interchangeably and it's just pot luck.

Thanks for the info.... so seat 10F would be a table of two, facing forwards..... so a seat map would look like this???

10 is indeed a forward facing. I have the *old* HST^▸ (High Speed Train) layouts but FC^‡(resolve) has not changed.

Can't be right. If seat is facing forward in one direction it must be facing backwards in the other direction. You'll find that a pair of seats will have the same number ie get a ticket with seat 10F and you will sit facing forward, get one with 10B and you'll sit with your back to the direction of travel. Sets of 4 seats will have 2 seats with say 12 with a picogram of a window around it 12F means you will sit next to the window in the direction of travel 12B next to the window with your back in the direction of travel. Seats 11F and 11B means that you sit next to the gangway sitting forward or back as the case may be.

Absolutely brilliant - thanks, moonrakerz! 

Seats 10F and 10B are indeed a table for two, then.

Interestingly, the seat diagrams are all from the old HSTs^▸ (High Speed Train)
