Hi JY, When travelling by rail, do JY passengers get to sit together, (as they do on a coach), or do we just have to take pot luck with the seats (as we do on flights)? I would be interested in rail if we travelled as a group but not interested if I ended up sitting next to any other traveller - someone who wasn't very friendly or perhaps didn't even speak English (wish I'd studied another language at school :)).
