Seating plan

There are 3 models that make up our fleet of 95 trains, our Nova 1 and 2 trains and the Class 185 trains. View train seating plans.

Toilets

You’ll find at least 2 toilets on board every train, including one that is fully accessible and has baby changing facilities.

We’ve fitted emergency help buttons and smoke alarms for your safety and we monitor their cleanliness throughout the day to make sure your journey is as pleasant and comfortable as possible.

Staying Safe

Your safety on board is our number one priority and we ask that you familiarise yourself with the safety notices above the exit doors in your carriage during your journey.

If you notice anything suspicious, like unattended luggage, please let a member of train staff know as soon as possible.

No smoking

We operate a smoke-free policy on all of our trains at stations, including e-cigarettes. This means strictly no smoking anywhere, including vestibule areas and toilets, which are fitted with smoke detectors.

We’d like to say thanks in advance for helping to make the journey more comfortable for everyone around you.
