1  Journey by Journey / Shorter journeys in South and West Wales / Re: 18:20 Chester to Cardiff Central - Service on: October 24, 2010, 12:17:51
Anyone know what class runs at this time? is it the 158 0r 175?

Hoping it's the 175 otherwise I might use the car instead. Can't stand the 158's. Stinking dirty and the seats are uncomfortable to sit on for 3 hours. 

I think its a 175. Most of the Holyhead-Cardiff services seem to be now (like the Cardiff-Manchesters)

Alright cheers mate.

Is it worth reserving seats at that time? or is it fairly quiet given it after the rush hour.

Cheers mate.
