Megatrain

Seats in a single clearly designated coach (see below!) on certain off-peak services can be booked on a capacity controlled basis and it is important to realise that they are not valid to and from intermediate stations. This was initially an experiment to run for up to 34 weeks but being a success after Easter 2006 it was extended to include the additional destinations of Bath, Bournemouth, Bristol, Exeter, Salisbury, Weymouth and Yeovil.
