Just checked a few things, and a whole set can carry about 500 people, and I remember in All Aboard: East Coast Trains hearing the narrator say about 100 get on at Edinburgh and the same at Newcastle, before going non-stop to King's Cross. Should make a pretty nice journey.
@Adam, I imagine the Flying Scotsman service won't be a HST. What with a Class 91 + Mk4 Set being in a special livery for it, and apparently being allocated to it!
Aye, it's never massively busy, as most at Newcastle pile on to the 0655 instead. Whenever I book in advance it's about £83.00 for the 0655, and £118 for the 0703. So I guess most business travellers will be told to use the 0655.
