I bought tickets for me and my mate travelling on the Virgin train 08.14 from stockport to Euston.
Once I paid at checkout stage and it re confirms your travel details, it says not seats are available.
does this mean they (virgin trains) are simply not allowing people to reserve seats for Sun 2nd?
I cannot imagine they would allow loads of people to buy tickets for people to be stood up down the aisles?
Cheers
First come first served - you may struggle if you get on at Stockport.
I am going from Stockport on the 8.14, one of the reasons I chose this one is because of this quote I read in the 'Wembley Special Train' thread:
Hi. I work in the rail industry so have a bit of inside knowledge. The engineering work is between Piccadilly & Longsight & finishes at 0800.
The 0805 Picc - Euston will start from Stockport but all other services are unaffected.Hi. I work in the rail industry so have a bit of inside knowledge. The engineering work is between Piccadilly & Longsight & finishes at 0800.

So it would seem that there is a chance of a seat from Stockport on that train.
That's right. That 8.14 train is the first Virgin train of the day and starts from Stockport. It will be packed though so it will be a mad scramble for seats if you don't have one reserved. I was lucky in that I have reserved seats for me and 2 mates as I took a punt just after half-time of the first leg of the semi when we were 3-0 up and booked the train tickets on my iPhone while I was in the ground. By the time I'd finished the booking process it was 5-0 to us.
