The only way with an ALR! Helped in some ways now by RTT showing allocations.
Ah I did think you must be on an ALR. I keep to'ing and fro'ing on whether or not to do one of those again. When I do, if of course I do, I've decided I will make it a First Class one, purely for the extra space. I don't care about the catering, as long as there's coffee and hopefully some biscuits then I'll be fine with that. All these fancy meals, no thanks!
A primary reason for an ALR for me is going to be long-haul journeys to Scotland, to Cornwall, that kind of thing. No prancing about doing little curves of track or whatever to fill the atlas this time! Currently recovering from an accident, so I have all the time in the world to plan it!
*heads off to do just that*
