TrainPal's Travel Expert Experience
"When booking your journey, check the planned train type if luggage space matters. Class 197s operate on many mainline routes and have dedicated luggage areas. TfW allows up to two larger bags and one small item per passenger, so avoid blocking aisles and store larger cases in designated areas."
"Don’t expect catering to be a sure thing just because you’re on a long-distance route. Some routes have a trolley service (albeit with limited selection), and First Class passengers only get a free hot drink or water and a shortbread. Check the ScotRail website for which trains have a trolley in operation."

TrainPal's Travel Expert Experience
"Visiting Wolverhampton: The city's tram now stops right outside the station, so you can hop on the moment you arrive and easily get around town. If you're keen to swap the city for green spaces, take a day trip out to the Smestow Valley nature reserve. Its old railway line has been converted into a pedestrian pathway that runs adjacent to the peaceful canals."
