Strange Question RE Travelling By Train ..

Hiddenidenity

Hi sorry for the strange question and I hope someone can help.

Im travelling from Machester to Prestatyn On Monday the 18th Returning Friday the 22nd. I want to know what time will the train be the most quiet (Less people) I suffer really bad from anxiety and travelling with 2 children 3 and under is really worrying me.

Thank you

Sorry again if the questions stupid x

First, make sure you go off peak

I would either go REALLY early in the morning and come back REALLY late at night (think 5am / 10pm) or alternatively travel when Richard and Judy are on (10.30am ish). Just don't go during the rush hour (6.30am-9.30am and 4.30pm-7pm).

Can you time the journey so that they are having a nap as you travel?

Mr_Thrifty

Also, no need to be anxious, the people of the north are lovely and i am sure your fellow passengers will help you out with bags and entertaining the kids if you so wish! :-)

and also remember, there is no such thing as a stupid question. it is very clever of you to be thinking about these things before the journey.

TBH I don't think you need to worry at all, my daughter takes her son (age 8) on the trains all the time he absolutely loves them he chats to the conductors and even the drivers sometimes. To date they have all been very friendly.

On Saturday they went from Ashchurch to Cardiff via the scenic route and came back via the Severn tunnel travelling on 5 different trains. They had a grand day out and the train staff were so friendly. At one station the conductor told my grandson to go and tap on the drivers window to say hello! Total cost for the 2 of them £15 (with a family card)

Don't worry you will have a great time on the train.

If theres tables on the train you'll be using, try and reserve the seats around one when booking the journey.

Thank you its not the kids I'm worried about. Being in busy places gives me panic attacks so I'd like to go when its at its quietest iykwim x thanks again

Lunch times to early afternoons tend to be the quietist from my experience.
