All Aboard...........Just

The train tickets for Edinburgh are booked, and what a palaver that was. National Express came very close to being the newest addition to the "Tesco List." In the space of three days the fare shot up by £20. Then when I found the route and price I wanted, it didn't have enough seats. So I tried a slightly later train, at a higher price of course, only at the last minute to be told the same. Finally I got us all on the same train, with table seats booked for the longest legs of the journey, but we now have to depart Bradford Interchange at the ludicrously early time of 8:34. More time boozing in Auld Reekie I suppose. We also have to catch a later train back home, via Preston of all places, to land back in West Yorkshire for about 11 pm, last orders if you will. The final cost of the tickets was just shy of £50. For the procrastinators amongst you who have decided to wait, or travel up on the Saturday, the flat rate open return is about £78. Lets just hope they don't go bust in the meantime.....
