I've booked tickets for 13:00 train on Wednesday from Paddington - Castle Cary. Has anyone travelled at this time and what are the queues at Paddington / Castle Cary like at this point in the day?
We also have a pal on an earlier train, is there any point getting there a little earlier and joining onto another train? (happy to sit in the corridor of the train, wouldn't want to take someone's seat!)
I think advance, we're technically not trying to play by the rules, just thinking if the 5am train are not only early in the morning + really busy, will it be less likely they'll check our tickets before we get to Paddington.
Hey,
Our group have got tickets for a train from Castle Cary to Paddington at 8:40 on the Monday morning. We have a few friends who have tickets for a train at 5:00am but they are now up to £70 one way so we're not looking to pay that much.
Was wondering if anyone has done this route back and noticed ticket checkers at 5am? Less likely for them to check on train packed full of people sitting in the aisles so wondering if we could sneak on to an earlier train.....
If not, a few hours kip at the station will have to be the plan!
