1606 Paddington - Liskeard

[Ash Bridge]

Good Afternoon Chaps,

Could any of you knowledgeable people advise if this HST is potentially a very busy service on a Friday, the actual date in question is 8th September, if so then any advice of which could be the quieter departures would be most appreciated,

Thanks.

1506 departure can be busy on arrival at Westbury but a lot alight there and then its quiet upto Exeter so that shouldn't be a problem for you as you would already have a seat

1606 is normally pretty damn busy in my experience, I would advise against it, the 1706 and 1806 out of Paddington if possible. Especially without a reservation!

Tech, many thanks for that advice, it's now going to be the 12:05 or 14:06, it's actually not myself travelling but my 80 years old mum, auntie who's 78 and two other family members aged around 70. Was actually going to book 1st class seats as it was the the only service offering Advance 1st tickets, the prices on the earlier services were silly money.

Those services will be busy still, as are all West Country services, but will be better. Hopefully they'll have a good journey!

Although I was surprised last Friday with the 17:03 Paddington - Penzance being empty when I boarded at the (pick-up only stop) at Reading. Easy enough to grab seats
