Impending trip to London next Sunday - He will be doing a return trip, I will be going one way

I have just about convinced him not to drive but he says only if he can go W&S.

Thinking about getting the first train from shrewsbury in the morning and then the 1833 return - looking at prices, the first class is a little pricey for both of us however tey do weekend first upgrades.  just concerened that with only a buffet car for first class, that we'll end up in cattle.

Has anyone possibly maybe got any idea how busy these services are?

I've travelled FC on W&S on a Sunday before... I boarded at Tame Bridge Parkway heading for Shrewsbury... Was quite busy but I still had a 4 seater table to myself :) So I doubt you'll have too much of an issue

IIRC you can prebook WF on their website or over the phone and also reserve seats on the service you require...

Going down to Tame Bridge from Shrewsbury I doubt very much would be an issue... (please don't quote me on that) but I did have First Class all to myself till Cosford ;D

So try booking with them :)

Someone else (Btline maybe) may know the loadings slightly better than me as I only use them occasionally and the closest to London i've boarded is Banbury...!

Never used W&S!
