As I understand it, the coaches end up oriented based on how it was convenient to shunt them (I don't know if that is the correct term), and certainly with no attention paid to the price of the rooms.

From the bedrooms, I would guess that one can leave the door open (or step out into the corridor) for some opposite side views without having to walk to another car. I haven't done such a trip yet, though.
