They email out a new booking code but do not require any coupons to be collected - apparently that number is my seat reservation.

I wonder if the extra coupon(s) could be collected if it were to be tried?
I plan to try before starting the journey.

... and our present monarch would then become Queen Elizabeth the First of Scotland.  Wink

But that's precisely what she is now, of course.

By my reckoning Scotland has, thus far, had three Queens called Elizabeth, one of whom is a monarch.

"The reference number you entered could not be found" on an Abellio Greater Anglia machine.

I managed to travel from Cambridge to Edinburgh on four trains (three of which were not my booked train, due to severe disruption on the ECML▸ (East Coast Main Line)) without having my ticket checked a single time, so could not see how they checked the new code.

I thought it may have come out as some sort of "valid only with previous reservations" type coupon (obviously not!).

I have got Virgin East Coast to issue reservations via their live chat facility before (I had an advance, friend was travelling on a priv and wanted a co-located reservation). Once they had my booking reference (I'd already collected my tickets) they gave me another booking reference. When I collected the tickets they'd issued the extra reservation and an associated journey with a nil fare (separate from my advance ticket & reservation).

Which is why post boxes erected since 1952 in Scotland have the Scottish Crown and not E II R on them - like this one in Oban.
