Is it possible to reserve seats when buying tickets using a rail warrant?
Yes you can reserve seats using a warrant if seats are reservable for the journey being made. Some tickets include a seat reservation and so in this case you can simply issue the warrant for the ticket only. If the ticket does not include the seat reservation then you will need to issue a separate warrant completing the journey details and then in the ‘Other Services’ section, mark the warrant ‘seat reservation only’. You will then need to exchange your warrant at the station. Reservations can normally be made from about 2 months in advance of the day of travel, up to about 2 hours before the train departs from its start point, or, for early morning trains, up to 1600 the previous evening. For more information on reservations please visit the reservations page on the National Rail Enquiries website.
