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 London: Central London is much more walkable than it first appears, and many major sights are closer together than the Tube map suggests. The key to doing it well is to know where you want to go beforehand and try to plan visiting things that are bunched together in one trip. It’s a good idea to use contactless payment for buses and the Tube too."
