Practicalities |
Practicalities Getting There Rail Practicalities As usual, planning ahead will make things easier. Reserving SeatsIt is particularly helpful to reserve seats so you don't have to worry about all being able to sit together. Near the buffet is good for little outings, though prices there are high and there will tend to be a lot of through traffic. Note also that you can't rely on the buffet which may be out of stock or even simply not open. Trips from further away will be difficult if the train is crowded but carriages further from the buffet will themselves probably be less crowded, making them more attractive if you have children. Embarking and DisembarkingIf you are not embarking at the terminus it is useful to ask where your carriage is likely to stop. If you have small children you can request help from the nearest person in rail uniform to ensure you all get on safely. Following the RouteThink of taking a map so you can follow your route as you travel. If you are feeling really enthusiastic a guidebook telling you something about the towns you pass might also be fun. |
