Night Riviera sleeper - seating arrangements in Coach A

« on: December 05, 2016, 12:25:28 »

Going off at a slight tangent, but not worth starting a new thread Embarrassed

.....

Can anybody point me at a seating layout for coach A of the sleeper please? A friend has three seats reserved in coach A, but cannot tell whether one of them is near to the other two.

Thanks for posting your question, PhilWakely, and I'm rather surprised that you haven't already had a reply, here on the Coffee Shop forum.

I've therefore given your query something of a 'bump', simply by splitting it off from our 'ongoing issues with the night sleeper' topic in 'Across the West' and putting it here.

Can anyone help with this question, please?

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.

I'm on the sleeper tomorrow, Tuesday and Wednesday nights so I should remember to look one on one of those journeys! Grin

One set has the new refurbished coach, the other a unrefurbished coach. Also due to one set having an unscheduled reversal a while back, although the seating is Penzance end the actual carriages are back to front throughout.

I'm not aware of a carriage plan anywhere onlinr

A poster on Railforums has created this file from his observations. He has acknowledged some of the old coach B may not be exact as parts of the numbers had peeled off so he recorded what was visible

That looks like a massive toilet on the refurb coach B. Does it have multiple cubicles and wash basins?
