Title: 18:20 Chester to Cardiff Central - Service
Post by: WelshStu on October 24, 2010, 08:01:00
Anyone know what class runs at this time? is it the 158 0r 175?

Hoping it's the 175 otherwise I might use the car instead. Can't stand the 158's. Stinking dirty and the seats are uncomfortable to sit on for 3 hours.

I think its a 175. Most of the Holyhead-Cardiff services seem to be now (like the Cardiff-Manchesters)

Alright cheers mate.

Is it worth reserving seats at that time? or is it fairly quiet given it after the rush hour.

Ive only used the 18.20 Chester-Cardiff twice and quite a while ago as well (and it was a 175 both times) but I think it was quite busy. I think its always reserving seats as you might get your ticket cheaper as well if its in advance.
