  My money is on it being part of the ticketing computer’s programming.

  They only issue as many tickets as seats. They just don’t tell you what seat to take.

    I very much doubt that!

      That’s in fact absolutely false.

    Read the full text. This, despite appearances, is not in itself a ticket.

      Read their full comment. They never argued otherwise

        The only way to understand their comment is that they think it’s a ticket that they only printed as many as they have seats. Otherwise its a non sequitur as it doesn’t explain the purpose of printing a second slip that days you don’t have an assigned seat.

    Very, very incorrect. You’ll very likely be standing with this scenario. No seat number? No seat, unless you’re very very lucky, or you happen to be getting on at the train start station and it’s there very early and so are you.
