I am doing seat reservations for our journey from Livorno to Sapri. We would like to be seated on the Mediterranean side and facing forward. How do we figure that out ahead of time for our booking?

If you reserve seats on Rail Europe you can sometimes select seats on a map with a fee of 2 € but you have no guarantee the seats are facing forward. Trains don’t run always in the same direction in most European countries, sometimes the car #1 is at the front, sometimes at the rear, and it is unpredictable.
