Originally posted by Fussbudget View PostThe East Coast website lets you see where the seats you're booking are in the carriage and the direction of travel, so you should be able to get a seat on the right side of the train.
I would also travel first class if the tickets are not too expensive (if you book in advance they're sometimes barely more expensive than standard class) as it's significantly more comfortable on East Coast trains especially for a journey that length, and you also get free food and drink (although the food went downhill when Virgin took over the line, and bizarrely even further downhill when it was brought back under public ownership.)

The flow country to Thurso is head fucking empty bogland. As vast as anything can get on a mid sized island.Last edited by Lang Spoon; 13-12-2018, 21:01.

though I guess that would mean the inconvenience of changing trains for the Aberdeen Inverness leg.

No more spending a penny (or 30, 40 or 50 of them) at the main stations.
Network Rail sets date for axing all train station toilet charges.

It’s a result of their CP5 underspend. They were told that if they are to keep it, it needs to be on 'customer friendly' initiatives that can be completed before April.
They have chosen to make the toilets crackhead friendly and are nuking any vegetation within sight of a rail line.
