Planes, trains and....

We are on our way from Edinburgh to London using rail. We could have flown in one of the many budget UK airlines but we thought this would be a great way for the boys to experience train travel for the first time. The trip is 4.5 hours with 8 stops before we get to the Kings Cross station in London and the trains run every hour. I discovered that the ticket prices varies greatly depending on the day and time.  By being flexible on the time. I found first class tickets for only a little more than economy.  Only £120 for the 4 of us and that includes WiFi and they keep offering hot food and sandwiches, drinks and booze after each stop.  I like train travel and the boys agree (at least in first class).
