Advantages
IconThere were plenty of free seats
Disadvantages
IconDid not leave on time
When I booked this trip, I wasn't sure whether I should reserve seats or not. I can recommend not booking as there are more than enough seats. There was also no catering, which annoyed me a little as I was hungry. We also didn't leave quite on time. However, unlike others, the KE 33 was very clean and well maintained, as were the toilets. We left at 8:40 because of the delay and arrived at 13:14 after four and a half hours. I also didn't have to change trains from London to Glasgow.

Disadvantages
IconNo weakness
Our train journey from London to Glasgow with the family was very pleasant. The journey time was 5 hours and about 30 minutes. We travelled on the North Eastern Railway. The service on board was first class - the staff were friendly and helpful, especially with our children. The comfort during the journey was excellent, with plenty of room for everyone to spread out and relax. The seats were comfortable, and there were even little amenities like power sockets and good wifi, which made the journey very relaxing. Despite the long distance, we felt well looked after and the journey went smoothly.

The train journey from London Euston station to Glasgow was a sensational experience, based on a direct service from Avanti West Coast. With a journey time of 4 hours and 29 minutes, the journey was extremely quick as the train had no stops and consistently kept to its scheduled arrival time. The train itself was very modern and offered an interior that was ideal for a medium-length train journey, coupled with plenty of legroom and very good seating. The free wifi worked excellently and is a clear advantage, especially for business travellers. The catering on board was perceived as good, there were high-quality snacks and drinks and the staff were friendly and courteous throughout. The cleanliness of the train was always satisfactory and the consistently pleasant service consistently contributed to a positive impression of the trip. All in all, this connection is highly recommended if you want to get from London to Glasgow quickly and, above all, comfortably and stress-free.
