Who is CrossCountry?
CrossCountry runs trains across the length and breadth of Great Britain. Their fleet of 92 trains stop at 120 stations, though CrossCountry themselves don’t run any stations of their own.
Do they offer cheap fares? Not really! CrossCountry are infamous for their incredibly high fares on longer journeys. It’s almost a necessity to book split tickets, but in most cases you’ll still be able to stay on the same train. If you choose to buy split tickets with us, you can bag a saving of nearly 50% against some fares, even when you travel at busy times.
On board services
Overhead racks are available on all trains. On Voyager trains space in these is extremely limited with racks only taking very small items. Bulkier items can be stored in dedicated luggage areas in Coach D or J.
On board trolley service is available on most services running between 06:00 and 20:00.
Free WiFi is available on all CrossCountry trains. Use up to 70MB every two hours in Standard Class and 100MB in First.
Voyager trains have two tables in most carriages but these have limited window views. No reservation? Head to Coach B or H for a better chance to find a table seat. There are four table in these carriages.
Bikes are accepted on all trains with a reservation. Book in with CrossCountry directly on their social media accounts or at a station ticket office. There’s more information in our dedicated guide to travelling with bikes.
