TrainPal's Travel Expert Experience
"Looking for a bit of peace and quiet on a Greater Anglia train between London and Norwich? Coach M is a designated Quiet Coach, where passengers must keep their phones on silent and take calls elsewhere. I’ve found it great for getting some work done or when I just want to relax with a book. "
"Greater Anglia’s new trains have really helpful passenger information screens that will help you find a free seat. You’ll see a graphic showing the train’s carriages in relation to where you are and carriages will either indicate three green blocks (almost empty), two green blocks, one green block or ‘Full’."

TrainPal's Travel Expert Experience
"I always try to get the fast Southeastern trains to London Victoria. They have only one or two stops and take about 18 minutes compared to slower services with nine stops (around 30 minutes) or Thameslink trains to London Blackfriars with 11 stops (36 minutes). The middle carriages fill up quickly during peak hours, so move along to the far end of the platform."
