Title: Exeter- Torquay Post by: hornbeam on August 12, 2011, 14:16:27 Hi all,
Having a few days in Torquay and travelling down on the Saturday (22nd) and back on the Wednesday. Going we have a change at Exeter boarding the 9.58 to Torquay. Coming back we are getting the 20.18 to Taunton ( cross country). We have reserved seats on the FGW HST part of both journeys. Can I expect the local service leg and the cross country leg to be very busy? Also I guess the local service doesn^t have first class, as I^ve booked first class going. It^s the first time I^ve travelled first class, are there any other perks with it these days? To be honest didn^t cost much more and fancied a treat!
