GWR Issues Christmas Travel Advice for Cornwall Passengers

Passengers utilizing train services to and from Cornwall this Christmas season are being urged to show consideration for others, as guidance on what items they can and cannot bring on board has been released. Great Western Railway (GWR) has unveiled the results of new research, which indicates that nearly six in 10 travelers have experienced problems on a train due to their own luggage or that of other passengers. The company anticipates that millions of people will use the railway network throughout the festive period. A spokesperson for the regional operator GWR commented: “We’re seeing more and more people struggling on station stairways and trying to board trains with unwieldy, super-sized luggage, which can then block aisles, exits and seats.” They further explained: “Instead, we’re asking them to consider bringing a standard-sized suitcase which fits comfortably in the boot of a car and can be stored in luggage racks at the end of a carriage, or, even better, a couple of pieces of cabin-style luggage which can be stored in overhead racks or under seats.” The spokesperson added: “There’s plenty of space on board our trains for sensible-sized luggage and this is about offering help and guidance to customers.”
