Adjusting the Belgrave–Gembrook Return Allocation

Overview

Use this procedure to change the capacity for the Belgrave – Gembrook Return allocation — 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.

      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

      • 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.

      • 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.
