How are "reserved seats in coach" assigned? Can you choose, ahead of time?
You can't choose ahead of time and most of the time you choose after you board. Reserved simply means you will have seat.How are "reserved seats in coach" assigned? Can you choose, ahead of time?
It all depends on the load, and the crew. I've had both on the same train - on different days.For the long-distance trains that I've traveled on, I always received a seat check and an assigned seat number upon boarding. I don't think I've ever been told to just get on-board.
I'm not talking trains here, but I was often assigned to a seat in the principals office by my teachers!It all depends on the load, and the crew.

Such as on the Crescent:
- Boarding at NYP - take any seat
- Boarding at WAS - assigned seat at boarding the car
- Boarding at CVS - take any seat
The Cascades:
- Boarding at PDX - assigned seat in station
- Boarding at OLW - take any seat
You meant to say that it was PERMANENTLY assigned - and even had a RESERVED sign on it! :lol:I'm not talking trains here, but I was often assigned to a seat in the principals office by my teachers!![]()
I think you're confusing me with somebody named... The Traveler? :huh:You meant to say that it was PERMANENTLY assigned - and even had a RESERVED sign on it! :lol:I'm not talking trains here, but I was often assigned to a seat in the principals office by my teachers!![]()
While it's true that they like to put keep all passengers headed to a specific destination in the same car (Example - Richmond this car, Jacksonville next car), what I'm talking about is being told "Your seat is #65" or "Your seat is #12"!I may be off base but, it seems they like to assign seats where people are departing at the same destination. Makes perfect sense to me, as the crew wants to make it as easy & organized as possible to make sure passengers jump off at the correct location!
Yeah, I understand.While it's true that they like to put keep all passengers headed to a specific destination in the same car (Example - Richmond this car, Jacksonville next car), what I'm talking about is being told "Your seat is #65" or "Your seat is #12"!I may be off base but, it seems they like to assign seats where people are departing at the same destination.
