ahh the old seat on the bag person ! Mainly evolved since covidI always use that route going to the midlands. It’s a bit slower (but cheaper) but at least you always get a good view. In contrast, see photo for the marvellous view I got on a recent Avanti train out of Euston. With Chiltern railway you also get the bonus (for a train geek) of using Marylebone and (especially) Moor Street, which are wonderful stations.View attachment 199750
