"Cruise train" London to Harwich

[gaileeh]

We are traveling on the train from London Liverpool St. Station to Harwich Intl. for our cruise departure on Sept. 10th. I have seen that the railway has added a non-stop from London to Harwich and vise versa on the dates of embarkation and disembarkation. Does anyone know if these non stop trains are crowded? With luggage in tow I don't care to be crammed in a train for an hour making our way to the quay. Any help would be appreciated.

I was recently on the 12:05 train to Harwich and it was one-quarter full, at the most. Lots of room for luggage, etc. It's a quick journey, nice scenery, and a very short walk from the train to the luggage drop-off for the ship.

The special cruise trains will really only have cruise passengers on board. The normal trains will not be crowded, for the reason that MAKEM gives.

Weekends could be a problem, look at the One Railway website. See my thread today on Royal Caribbean re Harwich cruise train.
