Hi.
I have an advanced ticket for a journey from Aberdeen to Twyford on 16th December, with reserved seats for both the Aberdeen-King's Cross and Paddington-Twyford sections. However, today and tomorrow there are no East Coast services north of Edinburgh (as well as a drastically reduced service between Aberdeen and Edinburgh), which got me wondering about what valid options I would have for my journey if the conditions are still the same then as they are now.
Which of these would be valid if the train I wanted was cancelled:
1. Aberdeen - Edinburgh (scotrail) - King's Cross (East Coast) - Paddington (underground) - Twyford (FGW) <- The obvious route but may not be possible
2. Aberdeen - Glasgow Queen Street (scotrail) - Glasgow Central - London Euston (Virgin) - London Paddington (underground) - Twyford (FGW)
3. Aberdeen - Glasgow Queen Street (scotrail) - Glasgow Central - Manchester Piccadilly (TPE) - Reading (XC) - Twyford (FGW)
4. Aberdeen - Glasgow Queen Street (scotrail) - Edinburgh Waverley (scotrail) - London King's Cross (East Coast) - Paddington (underground) - Twyford (FGW)
5. Aberdeen - Glasgow Queen Street (scotrail) - Glasgow Central - Birmingham New Street (Virgin) - Reading (XC) - Twyford (FGW)
Thanks.
