London Euston Travel Guides:
TrainPal's Travel Expert Experience
"With a live train tracker, I've often been notified of the train platform minutes before it's up on the main station board. Avanti West Coast passengers who haven't booked a seat should head straight for Coach C (or C, G and U on an 11-coach train), which is left unreserved. The ramps between the platforms and the main concourse are pretty steep, so hold on to your suitcases when boarding or alighting."
