How do I decide? Some tips and tricks from our experience

But we have some tips that can help you make the best informed decision. First of all, the best trip is always the one that meets all your needs, so make a list of all the things that you want from this journey and look for something that will satisfy all of them. Here we will go through some of the factors mostly commonly taken into consideration.

Here the quicker option is definitely the Train from CrossCountry: you will get to Swansea in just 4h 13m.

Comfort makes all the difference
