@Yorkie @rvdborgt Thank you for replying. In other cases, such as Eurostar or TGV in France, my understanding is that the seat reservation IS mandatory because there is a financial element to this i.e they want more money from the interrailer, there is a quota of seats, and once all the interrail seats are booked, you cannot travel on that train and have to go on a different one or buy a ticket. So I am concerned that this is the case with LNER (so it’s kind of irrelevant if there is a carriage of unbooked seats that you could use as you might not even be allowed on the train) - is it more the case that the train companies want more to get more money out of the interrailer? That’s why I’m asking. I’m worried that I might turn up at Kings Cross without a reservation and then not be allowed on the train and then have to buy a full price ticket. Thanks for your patience answering these questions.
rvdborgt thank you. I have tried that and i get this. Is it because train schedule not confirmed yet?
Hello, I am confused as seeing contradictory information on whether or not I MUST make a reservation on LNER London to Edinburgh service. I am a UK resident with interrail pass, returning to London on Eurostar on a May date and I expect to be in time for the last couple of connections to Edinburgh. I’d like to catch one of those trains in order to complete my journey home using the pass and not having to book a separate ticket. Looking at interrail site, it says that Seat reservations required - see above. I also see on Trains in Great Britain | Interrail.eu that seat reservations are mandatory on LNER. I am trying to book this seat reservation - but when I log in to use my pass number, i get the error message in red saying that reservations are not available (but when not logged in - i get the page as attached)? So first question why does it suggest that reservations can be booked, then when I log in they cannot be? Second question, can I hop on the Edinburgh train without a se
