It gets even more amusing when they run out of time to put the slips
out

Virgin's LCD displays above each seat are a great improvement.

No they aren't. You can't see from the platform how many seats are
reserved in the carriage, and once seated you can't see what the
reservations are.

Totally agree with Roland. You don't know if they are only reserved for part
of a journey or if they are a no show. Also very hard to read from any
angle. It was a good idea to have an electronic system for labour saving
maybe but this implementation is abysmal. It seems far too common that
reservations are not downloaded until after passengers have started
boarding, as I found out at Euston once.
