TrainPal's Travel Expert Experience
"Looking for a bit of peace and quiet on a Greater Anglia train between London and Norwich? Coach M is a designated Quiet Coach, where passengers must keep their phones on silent and take calls elsewhere. I’ve found it great for getting some work done or when I just want to relax with a book. "
"Greater Anglia’s new trains have really helpful passenger information screens that will help you find a free seat. You’ll see a graphic showing the train’s carriages in relation to where you are and carriages will either indicate three green blocks (almost empty), two green blocks, one green block or ‘Full’."

TrainPal's Travel Expert Experience
"Visiting Newcastle: Newcastle city centre is compact, but the climb back up from the Quayside can catch you out. It’s often easier to walk downhill towards the river and use the Quaylink bus when heading back to make life a little easier. If you have a few extra hours, the Metro also makes Tynemouth surprisingly easy to reach too, giving you a seaside stop without needing a car."
