Power Socket (UK)
The power sockets on this train are compatible with the standard 3-point plugs as typically used in the UK.
A 'Quiet Zone' is available on these trains, in which passengers are asked to refrain from using mobile devices.
As seat reservations aren't available, passengers who wish to travel in this zone, should look for the signs on the exterior of the train and board accordingly.
Conversely if you will want to make calls etc during your journey, check that you haven't unwittingly occupied seats in the Quiet Zone.
Travel summary:
Chiltern Railways operates two types of train on its London <> Birmingham route, these loco-hauled trains and its regular Clubman trains.
These loco-hauled trains use modernised Mark 3 coaches, which have been the primary coaches used on long-distance British express trains for more than 40 years.
Chiltern Railways has been comparatively generous with how it has fitted out these trains, they're comparatively comfortable, even in Standard Class.
The majority of the seats are at tables and most of them also line up with the windows, which contributes to a spacious ambience.
Non-folding bikes can be usually be taken on board these trains, but they are not permitted on departures from London between 16-30 and 19:30, and on arrivals into London between 07:45 and 10:00
