Season ticket holders will not get charged for a reservation.

Yes in ticket offices it is possible to request a specific seat.

So sounds like you can do exactly what you wanted to do after all. I wish you the best of luck hoofing out the people who have inevitably sat in your reserved table seat every journey Wink Although if you're boarding at NLS▸ (Nailsea & Backwell station) that may make life easier...

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.

This is me

Do you think I will have any reservations about hoofing out imposters if I cannot find the TM▸ (Train Manager, or Ticket Machine, or Temple Meads (Bristol), depending on context) in the first instance since I know where they lurk!

I see many mookie rants coming up
