I can tell you why. As some trains run about without a coach F (2+7) you cannot book any seats in coach F as you cannot be sure the coach will be there!!
Thanks, thats what one of the customer services team said, BUT when I visited the ticket office at Paddington, I did manage to obtain a reservation in coach F on the 18-03 from Paddington. |

A proper intercity train has a minimum of 8 coaches, gangwayed throughout, with first at one end, and a full sized buffet car between first and standard.
It has space for cycles, surfboards,luggage etc.
A 5 car DMU▸ is not a proper inter-city train. The 5+5 and 9 car DMUs are almost as bad.

I find the speed at which you have to vacate the seat is proportional to the size of the tip  proportional, surely?  |

In that case, you do better than me!  I was just expressing what TJ had said using symbols. Speed (v) is inversely proportional to the size of the tip (^). k is a constant. |

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.

Oh yes they did! microwave ovens were very expensive back in the old days, and were frequently stolen from trains and other places. I can remember when a microwave oven cost a week or twos wages, they can now be purchased for a few hours wages and are therefore much less at risk of theft. |

A microwave with a big yellow devil's hoofprint on the door - now that would be unobtrusive in any kitchen |
