    Having stewarded a few FS tours over the years it seems far harder to keep control than on a lot of regular railtours, I suspect due to a far higher percentage of folks that never normally use the train at all and railtour "rookies".
    From posts on other forums Avanti (at least) seem to have a different policy out of the major TOC's

    I had a quick visit to York today to see Flying Scotsman, the 2 Fox & Edwards tours, Chesterfield to York, then York to Newcastle.
    Originally scheduled to come in on P11 this was later changed to P9

    There was about a 30 minute layover while all the passengers on the Chesterfield to York trip got off, and the passengers for the York to Newcastle part got on!!
    It then left dead on time for Newcastle
