We are booked on this on Saturday from Ashford (so we can go to Disney). But I had no idea about the Rugby when I booked. Has anyone been on this train - will we be okay if we have prebooked our seats. I have visions of trying to get on at Ashford and loads of rugby fans crowded on there and me with my 3 little ones...Do they let people stand in the aisles etc? Or do they only let you on if you have a booked seat.
Also what is the journey like - any tips/advice gratefully received.

Should be fine if you have prebooked. As far as I can remember you can only get on with a booked seat. The journey is fine -- just like any other train journey, really.

You will have a booked seat you will be OK.

Its not like gettin on a noraml train , you have to pass through various check and immigration.

there is a train manger on board so if you do have any problem then it will be sorted .

Also I would imagine that British Transport Police will be travelling on those trains at the weekend as well.

You will be fine , hope you have a lovely trip
