Taunton to Bristol Commute

[Marktur]

Hi there,
I am almost certainly moving to Taunton in the near future. The chances are that my work will be in Bristol. Can anyone tell me what the commute is like? I'm well versed in commuting as currently do the Cambridge - London run (Both to Kings Cross and Liverpool st over the years)

It will be the same as most commutes. See how many people you can fit onto a voyager, Its only a 45 minute journey so not too bad!

Thanks - so I get the impression it will be relatively busy. Any chance of getting a seat? I'm aware that the train starts at Exeter and fills up a lot at Taunton before its final stop at Bristol. The Cambridge run has improved when they went from 8 to 12 carriages, and seats were there to be taken!

If you don't mind where you sit take advantage of XC's Mobile Reservation System which can be found here:

That's great - once I start the commute, i'll see how necessary this is!
