Avoid FCC. If you pre-book, there is no guarantee of a seat, as they don't reserve seats.

National express it's the same, you can either book a seat but only get on the train at the time specified or don't book a seat and get on any train any time time before midnight..

No, its not the same, as you can't reserve a seat full stop on FCC.

Anyway, if i was given the choice, i'd choose NEEC every time.
