TransPennine Express: Onboard experience from Hull to Manchester Victoria
TransPennine Express will get you from Hull to Manchester Victoria in about 1h 50m without any transfers on their direct services.
Settle in for a smooth, comfortable journey in Standard Class, with free Wi-Fi, plug sockets and
USB ports at every pair of seats along with decent luggage space. You’ll have decent legroom and drop-down tray tables – or, if you book as a group of four, a large fixed table.
Is First Class worth it on TransPennine Express?
The answer to whether First Class is worth it for you depends on your priorities and specific circumstances.
First Class on TPE trains gets you a more spacious 2 + 1 configuration compared to the 2 + 2 of Standard Class, with wider reclining seats and more legroom. While Standard Class relies on a trolley service, First Class on this route gets the complimentary Express Plus menu – not hot meals on this route, unfortunately, but you’ll enjoy high-quality warm snacks like sausage rolls and paninis as well as hot and cold drinks.
Where First Class may really be worth it for you is if you need to get some work done – First Class on TPE trains has dedicated plug sockets and USB ports, whereas in Standard Class you may have to share between each pair of seats. However, if you don’t need to work or particularly require extra space or quiet, Standard Class is probably a perfectly adequate choice on this route, considering there is no hot meal on this route.
What is the Wi-Fi like on TransPennine Express trains?
However, you won’t be able to stream or use data-heavy sites – Netflix, YouTube and the BBC iPlayer among others are blocked. So it’s best to stick to emails, messaging and light browsing on the TPE onboard Wi-Fi.
