Was advising a few passengers the other day about travel to Inverness [INV] & Aberdeen [ABD] from Edinburgh [EDB]. The passengers were American and they were thinking about travelling to Aberdeen by train, hiring a car there and heading to Inverness before returning from there to Edinburgh by train.
I suggested various options for them but it got me thinking of this scenario (which I did not suggest however!):-
As Aberdeen is on a permitted route between Edinburgh & Inverness would it be permitted to travel from EDB to ABD on an East Coast train, making your own way between ABD & INV, before returning from INV to EDB on the Highland Chieftain (EC service) on an EC only EDB - INV return?
