Sorry if it's been asked... Train question

(1/3) > >>

Cebelius:
Do I need to purchase my ticket for a train from the airport at BHX to Leicester or can I walk up to the counter day of and be assured a seat?  It seems the schedule has trains running all day, but I'd rather not find out when I get there that they're routinely sold out or some other avoidable non-sense.

Since I really have no idea how long it'll take me to get through customs, I don't want to buy a train ticket early unless I have to.  Thoughts?  Suggestions?

I'll be arriving at somewhere around 0900 on the 25th.

Cosmo:
It depends on which company is running the train. Virgin Trains and CrossCountry Trains are frequently standing room only whereas the smaller (yeah, I know) LondonMidland commuter trains will usually have seats available. It's usually safer to reserve a seat in advance, though, as that's the only way you'll be guaranteed one
Also, if you book your tickets in advance, they're usually cheaper than buying them on the day.

SFW:
The problem with trying to travel at that time is that you're in the middle of commuter times. You might find it a good idea to have something to eat and a rest before travelling onwards. Although coming from the airport it won't be all that much of a difference.

Washu:
You may also want to consider waiting at the airport until 1000 for the free coach service that we're putting on. More details for this are on the website.
