I took the sleeper train to the Edinburgh fringe festival last weekend. It really is the best way to travel to Scotland. A few beers in central London before the train leaves at quarter to midnight certainly help settle you in to the cosy cabin. The train then rolls into Edinburgh first thing the next morning. Couldn’t be easier. Trains are the way forward, you know. If only they were cheaper! This photo was actually taken on the way back from a weekend in the Lake District a couple of weeks ago. On one of those fancy new Virgin trains, no less. I think I might be turning into something of a train fan. There’s no better way to escape London than by train (when they run on time, that is).
