"The rear carriage on Thameslink trains are declassified First Class carriages, so anyone can sit in the larger, more spacious seats there. On some local routes you might also find that both First Class carriages are declassified. You can check on the screen in the carriage itself as it will usually indicate whether Standard Class ticket holders may sit there."
"Thameslink trains can suffer from delays that can easily compound due to the complex network and high-density of its departures. Check the status of your service on a live tracker before setting out."

TrainPal's Travel Expert Experience
"York station is a destination all by itself. The curved iron and glass roof, built on a sweeping 800-ft bend to navigate the medieval city walls, is one of the finest pieces of Victorian railway engineering in Britain and worth a few minutes before boarding your train. For drinks before your train, the York Tap is one of the best station pubs in the country – a beautifully restored Victorian tea room now serving an excellent range of craft ales. Just across the road, Thor's Tipi offers a great selection of street food in a unique outdoor setting – well worth a visit if you have time before departure."
