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’."

"Visiting Manchester: Central Manchester has so much more to offer than just great shops. It’s compact and easy to explore on foot, with great areas such as Deansgate, Ancoats and the Northern Quarter all within a reasonable walk of each other. The tram is amazingly useful when heading further out, particularly towards Old Trafford, MediaCity, Etihad, and that kind of thing. Manchester’s weather can change quickly, so it is worth carrying a light waterproof even when the forecast looks reasonable. "
