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 Blackpool: Most visitors stick tightly to the promenade, but one of Blackpool’s real gems is Stanley Park. It feels completely different from the seafront, with formal gardens, a boating lake and wide-open green space, and it’s well worth the short trip inland. For getting around the coast itself, the tram is usually the simplest option and saves a lot of repetitive walking along the front."
