Any guesses for what chaos awaits us on this train?

Edit to add: This is not the ticket, it was printed alongside the actual ticket, after asking for seating preferences.

    This ticket is odd by UK standards, and the arrangement you describe isn’t the norm. These seat reservation tickets normally specify a particular seat

      Every east-midlands train I’ve been on has had to cancel specific seat reservations when I got on anyway. I think they just constantly overbook or something.

      Great western railway operates like this, offering you a “mystery seat” regardless of whether they’ve sold 120% of the seats in the train.
