Thought I'd check this evening to be sure and I was right. The 17.48 to Worcester is still a full sized 2.5 carriage section, so thats a lie. And guess what? There's loads of seats in standard too. On a Friday. In rush hour. 😀
That's a bit odd - the rostered rake of coaches (LA05) is listed as 2 first class and 6 standard class? When was M a standard class coach? |

'M' is used quite a lot within the coach lettering TOPS▸ uses - which feeds Genius that I used to get the screen grab. Not sure why. |

One of them certainly has. I believe it was the set that formed the 07:40 PGN- PAD» (on Friday) with 1 1/2 1st class and both coaches had the new seats, which stuck in my mind as I normally only see 1 coach with the new seats in per set. |

You might want to double check your sources Chris B. Someone is telling you porkies...  That was taken on the 18th December 2014 |

In the foreground on the left is the new "Alok Sharma seat" where first class passengers must perch after finding no available seating.
😄
(Edited to get the guy's name right, which hopefully makes more sense!) 😄

And I don't think any composite coaches have been started on yet. Looks like it's been full 1st Class coaches done first, then buffet/kitchen coaches (TRFB▸ ), with the composites (50% 1st/50% Std) being done last.

Which is a strange order if you want to provide the extra capacity as quickly as possible, as you'd surely leave the TRFB's until last as they're a like-for-like conversion? |

That's temporary though, isn't it? All sets will ultimately have 1.5 1st Class Coaches. Either 1+ Full Buffet or 1+ Composite.
