IIRC there's a carriage of seated accommodation alongside the sleeper carriages, but they don't permit standing, so they can't just pack them in if it's busy. I'd be very surprised if it's ever actually full, as it's not a very pleasant way to travel up from London and you'd need to be up at painful o'clock to get on in Scotland. Book if you know when you're traveling for the peace of mind, but I'd be surprised if you couldn't get on without reservation.
