Hi, I also have my PRTC on the 3rd of Feb. I was thinking of going up there and staying in a hotel the night before, just incase the trains had problems.

If you contact your AFCO, they will give you a train ticket which should get you to Wendover station for 15:00. That'll give you plenty of time if anything goes wrong.
