These are very new and smart trains, but their primary function is to transport commuters to and from London, so they don't have the same ambience and range of facilities of long-distance express trains.
In particular they only have Standard Class seats.
In common with other new British trains Wi-Fi is available.
Wheelchair friendly spaces on the train and accessible toilets have also been provided.
If you require Assisted Travel the information is available here.
Reservations
Seat reservations aren't available on these trains, so seats aren't guaranteed, particularly when trains get closer to London between 08:00 and 10:00 and when leaving London between 16:00 and 19:00.
So if you will be boarding at Liverpool Street look up the departure time and aim to be ready to board, ticket in hand, around 10-15 mins before the train will be leaving.
Bicycles
Non-folding bikes can still be taken on board most departures including any service at weekends or national holidays, but you cannot take these standard bikes on trains at these times on Mon-Fridays (national holidays excepted)
- trains departing London between 16:30 and 18:30
- trains arriving in London between 07:45 and 09:45.

We’re striving not to let anything get in the way of providing the most useful service possible, hence a facility has been set up with DonorBox which can be used to support the running costs and make improvements.
Instead of advertising or paywalls, your financial support will make a positive difference to delivering an enhanced service, as there’s a lot of ideas which we want to make happen.
So if you have found the info provided here to be useful, please consider saying thank you.
This is one of more than 100 train travel guides available on ShowMeTheJourney, which will make it easier to take the train journeys you want or need to make. As always, all images were captured on trips taken by ShowMeTheJourney.
