Hi all,

Currently planning a holiday to Cornwall with my elderly mother. She's fine on her feet 99% of the time but sometimes gets tired and needs to sit.

We've booked a cottage in St ives for the week of the 20th May and planning the journey from Southampton Central to St Ives via Reading and St Erth.

Currently looking at booking onto the 1035 1C77 service from Reading to St Erth and was wondering if anyone has any experience of this service? For example how busy does it get? Many seats available? Is my luggage likely to be stolen from the racks?

It's going to be a difficult journey as it is with her plus 2 cases and a rucksack so any advice is appreciated.

Many thanks.
