Has anyone used the train to get from Manchester to Southampton? We are thinking about this as an alternative to coach travel. On our embarkation date, which is a Sunday, I see there is a train operated by Cross Country, leaving at 08.35 arriving 12.45 which seems ok, and there are two later trains which would get us there on time, just in case we miss the earlier one. The ticket price seems reasonable, cheaper than the coach, so it does seem to be a good option. I would be interested to know if anyone has used this service and we're they happy with it? Any downsides to it?

We are looking at our first Saga cruise and have a query about the included chauffeur service. The brochure states a limit of 300 miles for the free service. Is this 'as the crow flies', or the actual road distance? Having checked a couple of route websites, the road distance from our home to Dover is 303 miles so we are just outside the limit. Is there an option to pay for the extra mileage?

We have cruised on Queen Elizabeth in a Queen's grill suite which had a bath and separate full size shower cubicle. We are now looking at a QM2 cruise in a Queens Suites. However we need to know if these suites have separate shower cubicles as my wife is unable to use a bath. It's unclear from the Cunard website as all I can see are photos of baths with shower over. Could anyone confirm if they have separate shower cubicles?
