Could the reservation computer cope with that?

Surely it doesn't have to? As long as an F is always opposite a B, the
passenger for can just sit in whichever seat is facing forward or
backward regardless of which way round the set is. The reservations
computer never has to know.

(although on a Pendolino you'd also have the train's computer to
contend with)


But they don't give the options of F or B on newer trains with uniquely
numbered seats, which is the whole basis of the problem, they all show as A,
which leads to confusion - people have wrongly interpreted it as meaning
Aisle, or mistaken it for coach A.
