Pics or it didn’t happen
When it started testing there was one train with 16 water bodies... very soon after it became 15 water bodies and an empty seat at the front, can't think of any reason to do that unless someone had a go.
I presumed that was because there was monitoring equipment near that seat. It could be a leaking jelly man, access to some adjustment thingymibob near that seat. For a quick test, surely you would put the water body back afterwards, so the train is fully weighted.

Next Wednesday
I have heard...from a very solid source...that speedyp!seers will not be able to select seats, the merge point will be as the queues enter the station.
There will be no seat allocation, though queuing for specific seats will not be welcome.
So a bit like the Big One for seating, simply queue and fill the airgates, not specific gate allocation like thirteen and Mr Whicker.

Fantastic, I really hate that systemnot specific gate allocation like thirteen and Mr Whicker.
Earlier on I watched Icon testing on three trains whilst new signage was added to the station;
[BluePeter]And don’t forget children, it’s thanks to you all colouring in your KitKat wrappers a golden colour and sending them in, we have this magnificent Icon logo on the side of the building[/BluePeter]
