Why's that? Many advance purchase train tickets today are issued with
compulsory reservations. What's the unpleasantness if they turn out to
be all in one carriage?


Megatrain don't do seat reservations.


They used to do "carriage reservations" though.

No - the carriage wasn't reserved. Megatrain passengers had to sit
there, but nothing said that other passengers couldn't.
