Hello folks, & can I first apologise to the moderation team if this thread of mine is parked up the incorrect siding as I was not sure whether to put it here, or in the timetables section, or even the sub forum for stations.
Just looking for a bit of reassurance to be honest, being a very infrequent railway passenger.
I am booked on the UP Aberdonian into the Highland sleeper, from Inverkeithing to Crewe on July 10 2017, service commences at Aberdeen on the 09th.
Wanting advice on the safest options for trains to Bangor, IF the sleeper has problems & is late. There is a Virgin which arrives into Crewe from Birmingham New Street at 06.23 to Holyhead, with lovely advance prices winking at me for the last few weeks.
Arriva Trains Wales has a Crewe starter at 06.54 as fall back(also a lovely price).
The next two are the Chester shuffles & I will lose the will to live.
IF the sleeper was late & I have an advance on the first Virgin to ride the coast that morning, would Arriva excess or whatever for me to ride on their service as backup or would I be better just buying an "anytime" for safety & just get on the next train out?
I hope someone can understand my question? I did trawl the bowels of the forum looking for threads over the years from people who have used the sleeper up to Crewe to connect to other places from there & found nothing. Even from way back.
Thank you all for your time, Andrew.
