Train Hereford to London Paddington

Foggster

I am trying to book train tickets Hfd to Pad for 19th Dec and returning 21st Dec. I seem to be getting a bus for part of the journey at some times or unable to reserve seats which is pretty crucial with an elderly relative and 2 young children.

Would like to take an early train out of Hereford and a mid afternoon train back on the Monday. We have a F&F railcard.

Any top tips would be gratefully received.

To miss the bus journeys put a route of via Evesham into the journey planner. It may be a trifle slower but it will be a whole lot easier

If you get a London Midland local train to/from Great Malvern or Worcester (as you will have to when there are no through trains) there will be no reservations for that leg but Great Malvern - Paddington* shouldn't be a problem. If there is one it's a temporary glitch.

*On most trains - there may be the odd exception not run by HST
