It's the other end I'd be concerned about

Well yeah, I was trying not to being the tone down. As it's I'm on SCM it's not something I should have been concerned about though!

Nah, I'll buy some of those windeeze tablets, dealt with this issue before all the time when went on business trips, I just couldn't walk past an Indian restaurant when I know it's paid for by work, whether I had a meeting the next day or not!

There weren't even any first class tickets left. How these bastards can charge you full whack for standing is a joke.

I know what you mean about the fare. It's always rammed as well. A quick tip from me would be to head straight for the 1st class buffet carriage. It will be quieter, less smelly and you can meet me for a pre game bevvy! 🙂
 
Do they let the great unwashed into the 1st class buffet carriage? Isn't there uniformed guards with impressive glittering epaulettes on their shoulders?

I don't know actually. I have a 1st class ticket so if me and you are in the buffet carriage chatting away it seems absurd to kick you out. You never know with train jobsworths though.
 
There's no guard checking usually, but they ask for your ticket when buying something.

Means doctor mac will owe RA a few drinks when they get the the harry!

If you tuck a few notes into the guard's top pocket and say in your most effete voice, 'there's a good chap, now move along dear', then I think it will be fine.

Actually, just checked, and the b*stards don't serve alcohol until 11. The buffet car is for all classes from what I can tell. Though they call it 'the Shop' rather than buffet car.

Hahaha. It's gonna be a stand with mars bars & hello magazines stacked up, with behind it a noisy as fuck coffee machine making something that it supposed to resemble coffee in some dimension where people don't have taste buds, & a spotty faced teen counting on his fingers to work out the change.

Doc, on all trains going from London Euston to Liverpool they generally keep seating in coach E unreserved. Well they do in the week anyway. If it's the same on a Saturday head directly for that carriage as quick as you can.

I have youtubed it and it would appear 'the shop' adjoins the 1st class carriages. Check out the beyond all known level of nerdy comments after this:



Crap- you need to check it out on youtube.

Top fucking tip. If this works out you're going to become my new favourite poster.
 
Hahaha. Those comments are amazing.

Actually this is very true. Watch like a hawk the platform announcements on the big screen about 10 -15 mins before the train is due to leave. As soon as it's announced leg it to coach E (throwing women and children behind you can help) - You can be sure others will be doing the same - The scramble can be pretty brutal!
 
I thought I might as well have a proper night. Changed my train and am now heading back Sunday instead. Looks like there will be lots of us out then. Staying at the Hampton By Hilton by Kings Dock (which is supposed to be pretty central) 🙂
