Loading on W&S - does anyone know how busy the first class gets on a Sunday?

« on: December 06, 2009, 15:28:45 »

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 Grin

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...!
