How do I find out what type of train my train will be ?

[fhs man 2]

I was looking at my seats that I have booked train plans and if the train is a HST me and my companion will not be sitting together but if it was a voyager we would be. How do I find out what type of train it would be ? It's a crosscountry service.

Look it up on Open Train Times or the like.

It would be 12.52pm Crosscountry train from Glasgow Central to Plymouth.

I will be returning on the 6.25am train from Plymouth to Glasgow Central.

I will be going on a tuesday and returning on a thursday.

Almost certainly Voyager, both ways. HST's only visit Glasgow Central once per day, the 1223 from Plymouth, arriving 2227, returning to Craigentinny ECS.

Must be the first time anyone has said that in relation to a Voyager

I know HST's are fantastic but I do not want to sit back to back with the person I am sitting with .

Glasgow to Plymouth and back on a Crosscountry voyager. I bet that will be fun!! It was bad enough for me travelling from Newcastle to Bristol and back 6 years ago.

That is brilliant

Can you remember how much the ticket cost?

That is brilliant

Can you remember how much the ticket cost?

Recently the price has been from Aberdeen to Penzance £250 one way.

Can you remember how much the ticket cost?

Around £450 (probably slightly less as I think the price went up recently) as I seem to recall that it was done as part of a 7 day ALR.

Also don't think you can evade the men in white coats for ever IanXC, they're still after you for that madness

Hideously off topic really! I'm sorry I just couldn't resist!

I did indeed get it from York, was great the moment the booking clerk realised what I was asking for!

Haha, great way to spend a day! It was a day of my 7 day ALR last year, with YP railcard fortunately! Before I rabbit on any further heres my trip report http://www.railforums.co.uk/showthread.php?p=798459#post798459

Hmm, so far so good though! Maybe they're looking for me on Voyagers. Maybe I should avoid from now on!
