Train timetable
Our network stretches from Scotland to Cornwall, so you’re bound to find somewhere you’d like to visit. Timetables are correct at the time of production and are usually planned 6 months in advance.
If you’re looking for inspiration for your leisure journeys, check out our destinations to see where CrossCountry can take you.
*Services at weekends may also be affected by engineering work.
Advance booking dates
Due engineering work we are currently running a reduced advance booking window.
Whilst tickets can be bought up to three months prior to travel, seat reservations are not available until closer to the journey date. The table below provides the latest date that you can reserve seat reservations on our services. We apologise for any inconvenience caused, please check back for updates.
