I'm booking some train tickets online, and it gives me the option of front, backwards or airline seats. Ideally I want table seating, but I haven't a clue if this is the airline seats.

These are the seats without a table. Like airlines they mayhave a small fold down table in the back of the next seat.

Airline Style Train Seat

Front or backwards seats are table seats. Airline seats are the ones normally forward facing with a fold down table and retractable arm rests. When you book the tickets, ask for a table seat. My mother works at Leeds Ticket office on the station. It is possible to just ask for a table seat when booking. Hope this helps.

Not sure how the system works 'across the pond', but here in the UK, if you have an 'open' ticket allowing you to travel on any train between your departure and destination, you do not have to reserve a seat. However, if you don't, you may have to stand! If you do reserve a seat, you do not have to travel on the specific train that you have reserved the seat on. If you miss it, or get to the station early, and catch an earlier service your travel ticket is still valid, although you may have to stand - see above. The difference is if you book to travel on a specific train - usually at a cheaper price. Here, you are automatically allocated a seat on that train. However, you cannot travel on any other service, unless it was impossible to travel on the 'booked' train due to cancellation, late running of a previous service, or any other fault on the railway's behalf.

It is a seat like you get in an aircraft - you face the back of another seat and normally have a fold-down table.
If you want a table, you'd need to specify front or backwards.
(Just as a note, though, some of the train companies' reservation systems can't handle the distinction any more, so you can't always be 100% sure.)

Your reservation will show the coach letter and your seat number, whether your seat is facing the front (F) or back (B) of the train, or if you have an airline-style seat (A) with fold down table.

Look at the train, if it got a BIG hole in the roof and few aluminum debris everywhere, then the Airline Seat will make some senses :o)

I would guess its hanging on the top of the train-sounds a bit worrying to me. You could always try ring the train service and asking.
