Sorry - I meant to say 'if train staff try to charge for travel to Edinburgh rather than to Berwick '. Had a couple of drinks tonight, and I muddled up stations

Thanks for the replies! If train staff try to charge for travel from Newcastle rather than Berwick, she can mention 14.3 in the conditions of travel? She does have a disabled person's Railcard and will travel with a companion. Doesn't use a wheelchair. Would D34 or D50 be any better than the...

Yes - she gets free travel in Scotland because visually impaired

Someone gets free travel with a National Entitlement Card in Scotland, and T&Cs say this means journeys from Berwick-Upon-Tweed north into Scotland are free. Some of the trains from Newcastle to Edinburgh don't stop on the way. Would this just mean they'd have to pay for the ticket from...

Thanks!

Passenger travelling Newcastle to Dundee. Get free travel in Scotland with National Entitlement Card (visual impairment). Two questions: - can they pay to upgrade on board as usual, though they won't have paid for a ticket in Scotland? - will it cost £39 for this journey length? Thanks.

Thanks!

I've got a cross country journey coming up. I upgraded to 1st through seatfrog. Is there a way to book a seat reservation/change the reservation I had through seatfrog? I can't see a way to do this

Thanks. I'd mainly want standard premium to have a quieter space to work in, so might be better elsewhere on the train if there's not space for an on-train upgrade? I'm getting the 1607 from Birmingham New Street to Edinburgh, if that makes a difference?

Thanks! It looks like standard premium on Avanti would end up costing about the same as 1st class via seatfrog. If Crosscountry pricing is based on the difference between advance standard and advance 1st tickets, Seatfrog is way cheaper for that. Anything else I should look at before coughing...

I've got 4hr-plus train rides with both companies coming up, and booked standard class tickets via this forum. Seatfrog is just over £30 inc fees to upgrade to 1st on Crosscountry and just over £40 on Avanti (buying the upgrade in advance, not bidding). Are there likely to be any better options...

Thanks!

What would the on-board price for this be, if there's space? GWR's website says it's from £10, but I'd guess that's for shorter journeys

Thanks! Booked tickets:)

Thanks! If 1st class is full he'd be on one of our laps, then? But would save the price of a ticket/upgrade :)
