A regular passerby now at Marston Farm

We are delighted to see the new high speed Intercity Express trains whizzing past us regularly. With 20% more seats, all ergonomically designed, greater legroom, air-conditioning in all areas and window blinds throughout, it’s a great ride. There are also more tables and a plug socket and WiFi for everyone. Overhead racks are deeper. There’s extra floor storage, and more stacks at the ends of carriages. GWR have also made it easier to store your bike; with spaces in dedicated carriages, and ceiling-mounted hooks to keep things safe.

There is great news for wheelchair users too with at least two wheelchair spaces available, with full access to a disabled toilet. On longer trains, they provide four spaces. It’s not ideal but it’s a start. Toilets now have baby changing facilities too!

Why not come and stay with us and sit in our purpose built shelter which looks down the line giving you the perfect opportunity to watch and photograph all passers by?
