 ;D as normal for Bank holiday weekend (and half term) to the West trains are fully reserved now, so make sure you get on board sharpish at Paddington if you have not reserved a seat and don`t wish to stand up. Even the Sleeper tonight has all seats and berths booked.

I can vouch for that - the 12:06 on Friday from Paddington to Penzance was full and standing certainly as far as Plymouth.  Made my decision to eat a meal on board an even better one than usual.

Coming back up this afternoon I was surprised how busy the London bound trains were.  I expected most people to travel back on Monday rather than Sunday being a bank holiday weekend.  However it may have been a lot of day trippers brought out by the good weather possibly.
