Journey Conditions

When making a booking it is important to always include the same Journey Conditions as were used to determine the availability. Journey Conditions tell the reservation service the overall journey that a passenger is making which in turn could impact on the seat allocated to them. For example, TOCs may choose to set up their inventory so that certain seats are prioritised for 'local' journeys whereas others are prioritised for connecting passengers.

Adjusting seat allocations based on overall journey is entirely optional and in many cases TOCs will not implement such rules. However, retailers have no way of knowing when such rules are in place so the only way to ensure that a correct seat is offered is by including the Journey Conditions in all relevant requests.
