# Adjusting the Belgrave–Gembrook Return Allocation

## Overview

Use this procedure to change the capacity for the **Belgrave – Gembrook Allocation (Return)** product — the full return journey product, typically set to 56 seats. This procedure includes an extra step: you must also update the Allocation Group to match the new value, otherwise the seat reservation will be out of sync.

## How Capacity is Structured

Each leg on a Belgrave–Gembrook service has a total capacity of **176 passengers**, made up of two components:

<table id="bkmrk-componentcapacitynot" style="width: 100%;"><thead><tr><th>Component</th><th>Capacity</th><th>Notes</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Bel - Lak &amp; Lak - Gmb Return / single-journey passengers</td><td>120</td><td>Covers Bel–Lak, Lak–Gem, and return equivalents</td></tr><tr><td>Belgrave – Gembrook Allocation (Return)</td><td>56</td><td>Full return journey product; seats are reserved via Allocation Groups</td></tr><tr><td>**Total per leg**</td><td>**176**</td><td> </td></tr></tbody></table>

**Note:** The 56 Belgrave–Gembrook Return passengers are already counted within each leg's 176-seat capacity. Adjusting the Return allocation changes how many of those 176 seats are reserved for that product specifically.

## Steps

1. In **Sightseeing &gt; Manifests**, locate the relevant service and find the **Belgrave – Gembrook Allocation (Return)** row at the bottom of the manifest's legs.
2. **Right-click** on the *Belgrave – Gembrook Allocation (Return)* leg row.

3. Hover over **Stop Sell / Max Pax…** and select **This Manifest**.
4. In the dialog: 
    - Set the **From** and **To** date range, or use *Select Recurring Days…* as needed.
    - Tick **Set max Pax to…** and enter the new capacity value.
    - Tick **Set Allocation on Allocation Groups** — this is critical and must not be skipped.

5. Click **Finish**. The Allocation Groups screen will appear.
6. On the Allocation Groups screen, find **Belgrave to Gembrook Return** and set its **Allocation** value to the *same number* entered for max Pax in the previous step.

7. Click **Finish** to save.
8. Does the entire train capacity need to be increased because of this?  
    If yes, please also adjust the manifest accordingly — see the *Adjusting the Main Manifest Capacity* guide.  
    An example of this would be an **extra** carriage being added to the carriage set specifically for Bel-Gmb.

## Important Notes

- <p class="callout info">The **"Set Allocation on Allocation Groups"** checkbox must always be ticked when changing this leg. Skipping it will cause a mismatch between the max Pax limit and the reserved seat allocation, which may result in overbooking.</p>
- Only update the **Belgrave to Gembrook Return** allocation group. Leave *Gembrook to Belgrave* blank unless specifically instructed otherwise.
- This leg's capacity does **not** change automatically when you adjust the main manifest — both procedures must be performed independently if both values need updating.
