TrainPal's Travel Expert Experience
"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
"With a live train tracker, I've often been notified of the train platform minutes before it's up on the main station board. Avanti West Coast passengers who haven't booked a seat should head straight for Coach C (or C, G and U on an 11-coach train), which is left unreserved. The ramps between the platforms and the main concourse are pretty steep, so hold on to your suitcases when boarding or alighting."

TrainPal's Travel Expert Experience
"Visiting Glasgow: Central Glasgow is easy to explore on foot, but the subway is definitely useful when heading between the city centre and West End. For something a little different, head to Pollok Country Park which is around three miles south of the centre, where you can see beautiful Highland cattle in a huge green space that feels completely removed from the city. It’s a good option if you want a break from museums and shopping."
