London To York

[Hampshire Unit]

I am Travelling to York from London on a Tuesday and returning the following Thursday. Can anyone tell me if seat reservations are essential? There are 3 of us travelling but would prefer not to be tied to certain trains. But clearly if there is a risk of us getting split up or having to standing all the way then Reservations it will be.

what service are you on NXEC? They charge £2-50 per seat unless you have advance tickets

Assuming you are using NXEC services, if you book through the NXEC you will be charged £2.50 each in each direction for seat reservations. However, as far as I am aware, if you book via a trainline based website, you will not be charged for the seat reservations. Try a site such as www.tpexpress.co.uk to avoid the booking charges.

Sorry but I think I worded the question wrong. What I was trying to get at is how busy are the services from Kingscross to York after 11:00 ??? and again returning from york say after 16:00. Thanks for you replies so far.
