Away on holiday I noticed a very fancy close coupled toilet where the seat
had shifted out of line but I couldn't see any way to get access to the
fixings. Porcelain everywhere.

Back home I looked at our less fancy close coupled toilets and again I
couldn't see an easy way to access the seat fixings. I could almost get my
hand in there but there was pipework in the way.

So do you have to remove the cistern to be able to remove or adjust the
seat?

Cheers

No, with many/most/all you just have to remove the seat.

Many work with fixings that just insert down the fixing hole and are
tightened from above

There are variations on the theme and if you want to replace the fixing
you just let part of the old fixing fall into the void in the Porcelain
and buy a new fixing.

I found that on my toilet the fixings provided by the manufacturer
couldn't be tightened enough to prevent the seat moving over time. A
different form of blind hole fixing solved the problem. With the
expanding type it helps if the diameter of the unexpanded fixing is a
good fit in the hole before you start.
