The new trains operated by Virgin and GNER (and possibly others, but

Which is just lazy on the TOCs' and Trainline's part, as Pendolinos
are always the same way round...

Except the Edinburgh - Euston and return which are always the wrong
way round.
(You can spot if the southbound set has been stepped up to another
service if you get the set that is back to front later in the day on
another service!)

Could the reservation computer cope with that?
