Any guesses for what chaos awaits us on this train?

Edit to add: This is not the ticket, it was printed alongside the actual ticket, after asking for seating preferences.

    Except you haven’t, that’s the point.

    If you don’t get to the train early, you have to stand. That’s how British trains work. People who get to the train will see many seats unreserved saying “Seat Available” on the overhead sign, regardless of whether they’ve reserved a seat.

    So someone who hasn’t clicked “reserve a seat” on the booking process might sit on that, while you stand in the hallway.

    The ticket literally means “sorry, you don’t have a seat assigned”.

      But you are permitted to sit. Just the seat you find is not defined.

        Everyone is permitted to sit, except if the seat is reserved for someone else who has a normal seat reservation ticket which specifies the coach and seat number.
