Why on earth would you put yourself through 3 and a half hours on a coach when a train could do it in just over an hour? :lol:

We take the six minute walk to the station, where we board the 1008 Virgin Trains service 9M52 (which has left Edinburgh two and a half hours after we did!) to Sandwell & Dudley, arriving there at 1254 on Wednesday afternoon.
