Megatrains

Hi,
I have booked to go to London on 8th November returning 9th November through Megatrains for 3 of us
(Wife,Daughter and Myself).Was just wondering if after you have a confirmed booking can you prebook your seats seperately ?? If we have to stand then so be it as the total cost was only £6.50 for 3 ! but if anyone knew of a way to guarantee seating it would be greatly appreciated

Thanks Dave

    Which route?

    If South West Trains, then no seat booking is possible.
  • Route is Liverpool to London
  • I've reserved seats by asking at the station before- I think this can be done up to 2 hours before the train leaves it's origin station (i.e. the beginning of the route). Or try their ticket line on 08719 774 222
  • From the megatrains T&C's

    17. Seat reservations are not permitted for megatrain.com bookings, but we will do our best to provide all customers with a seat for their journey.

    It's a Virgin train that you will be travelling on, so IMHO be at the front of the queue when they open the platform barrier at Lime st.

    Do you get any off these megatrain fares at weekends?

    Megabus have 3 train services on that route (1x Liverpool to London, 2x London to Liverpool) Monday to Friday Only, so sorry no weekend services.

    But those 3 train services start at £1 per seat, bargain.
