    Travel in Standard for part of first class journey?

    Thank you for the replies everyone. I've just seen that Cross Country do weekend first class upgrades, so this may be worth investigating to boost my boyfriend points :D

    Travel in Standard for part of first class journey?

    Hello, I have a first class ticket from where I live to Bristol, but for a portion of that journey my girlfriend will be travelling with me and she only has a standard ticket. Will I be yelled at if I travel in standard with her until new street? I have to get off there and get another...

    First Great Western luggage space

    Oh cool, thanks. I'm bringing the basic spanner and allen keys and stuff down anyway as it's the first time bringing my bike to my new place in London, but the pump will definitely come in handy :D

    First Great Western luggage space

    Thanks for your help :) Managed to successfully book a space. One more question - I'm leaving the bike broken down, will that be alright to put in the bike van bit from your experience?

    First Great Western luggage space

    With regards to locks, I always place my U lock around the frame and wheels for security and also to stop it from falling apart in case the gaffa tape breaks :) I'm in coach G, so basically at the opposite end of the train. So if I wait at coach A end, load the bike on, then just get on the...

    First Great Western luggage space

    Okay, thanks. Would you recommend I reserve a space or just turn up and talk to one of the platform staff? I highly doubt at 12:03 tomorrow there will be many people in first class, or the whole train for that matter. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- LOL, thanks - will do.

    First Great Western luggage space

    Hello all I'm travelling from Bristol to London tomorrow and plan on taking my folded down road bike (not a folding bike, just a broken down full size bike). I talked to a FGW employee at London and was told they have a maximum wheel size on folded or broken down bikes, which mine exceeds...

    Query about XC HST

    Hello, I apologise if this is a stupid question, but I'm new to these things so be nice :D Wanting to get some photos of an XC HST from a local bridge (has pretty good views), checking the diagrams I see that the Plymouth to Glasgow Central service leaving at 1224 on Tuesdays to Thursdays...

    passengers who stand when there are seats available

    I used to make regular trips from Bristol to Swindon during the heatwave. Standing by the open window was amazing :wink:

    Plain old BVE4 routes

    Hi Stephen, Any chance you'd be willing to share your collection with me? I've only recently got into the simulator and most of the sites which contained routes have shut down :-(

    Should the HSTs be Replaced?

    I will certainly miss HST 's legroom. Being 6'3" my knees are literally round my ears in Voyagers.
