Our London and Paris trip is coming up and I just booked our Eurostar tickets traveling from London to Paris. I decided to go with the standard class to save the extra $$ for museums, dining, etc. Anyway, I received my confirm and seating assignment (which I know can be changed or upgraded) so I checked to see where we're at because I do want a window seat and also want to face forward. I searched for a seating chart to check, and I'm confused because we've been assigned to carriage 6 which looks like it is the bar/buffet coach. What am I missing?? Thanks for any help that may be offered!

There is no seating in coach 6 (assuming that is the buffet car on your train) - it would be standing room only.

I'd check over your booking again.

Thanks, Janis. My ticket booking does list seat numbers so I don't believe it's standing. Is carriage the same thing as coach? The receipt lists the carriage number. The maps I've pulled up online show coach number.

janisj

yes the same -- I probably should have said 'Carriage' . . .

You won't be standing, <i>unless</i> you want to stand in the buffet car for a drink or something.

If you have a ticket you will have a seat.

Just wish I could see it in their charts. Thanks again!

Are you sure you're not confusing the carriage and seat numbers?

Or if in doubt, can you move yourself to another carriage?

Thanks, Patrick, I hadn't mixed up the carriage and seat numbers, but apparently on the train we're on, carriage 6 is not the buffet/bar carriage. I was able to see a map by clicking on the 'manage your booking, then change seats' section. Looks like an e320 train and carriage 6 is a standard seating carriage.

Thanks, Scootoir, that is exactly what I did.
