Frankly, given the numbers of people involved, if it takes more than a sentence to explain, it's too complicated. Not that giving it thought is a bad thing. Personally, I'd favour two queues: passengers with seat reservations for this service, and everybody else.

Thanks, Smethwickian! I've adjusted my post to amend the misinformation. I'd second what you say about making the effort to support the staffed café and ticket sales desk. Will be great once all of the necessary information is in the database for destinations and concessions. As it is, I...

I've done all of the components of this journey a few times and there are some things I'd bear in mind. Firstly, I would absolutely not recommend attempting the entire journey in a single day. It's numerically possible, perhaps, but not realistic with even the slightest disruption and also not...
