"If you're on the taller side or simply looking to stretch out a bit, First Class offers an extra 7cm of legroom! This may not seem like all that much, but trust me - it makes all the difference. I was patting myself on the back on the third hour of my recent London to Edinburgh journey."

TrainPal's Travel Expert Experience
"Visiting Peterborough: Flag Fen is the place that gives Peterborough far more character than many visitors expect. This Bronze Age site preserves ancient timber causeways and archaeology that used to be hidden away beneath the Fens, offering a completely different perspective on the area. If you have the time beyond the centre, pairing it with Ferry Meadows makes for a much stronger day than simply staying around the main shopping streets."
