TrainPal's Travel Expert Experience
"If you’re upgrading your seat for a weekend trip and travelling to/from stations without lounges, Standard Premium might be a better option than First Class: weekend services have a more restricted menu compared to weekdays. And as the seats are the same on Standard Premium and First Class, you may prefer to bring some snacks on board and save the few extra pounds."
"I always travel with my refillable water bottle on trains, which makes Avanti West Coast’s Water Refill Points especially handy for longer journeys. You’ll be able to top yours up at these stations, the onboard shop on Pendolino and Evero trains."

TrainPal's Travel Expert Experience
"Visiting Gloucester: If you plan to climb up the cathedral tower, it's a good idea to pack light. There are 269 steps up a narrow spiral staircase and nowhere to leave bags. Tours only run on certain dates, too, so be sure to check before you visit. Afterwards, give your legs a break with a stroll along the flat Gloucester & Sharpness Canal towpath."
