TrainPal's Travel Expert Experience
"On the Liverpool–Norwich route, Class 158 trains can become busy. If seating and luggage space are priorities, Coach A can be preferable to Coach B, where the accessible toilet and bicycle storage can reduce available seating."
"At London St Pancras International, EMR Intercity services commonly depart from Platforms 1 to 4. Instead of waiting in the busiest part of the main concourse, arriving at the upper level near the platform gates around 20 minutes before departure can help you avoid the busiest part of the concourse and secure overhead luggage space before boarding queues build up."
