Hi all,
Sorry for the pompous title first off, but after Ivo's Adventure, I felt It was needed
In a few weeks, a close friend is back from his Year at the Nottingham University campus in Malaysia. Thanks to my new found love of rail travel, I have suggested doing a tour of some bits of britain
Currently my plan is as follows;
What do you think of this plan, is it a good idea or a bad one?
Im wondering if it would be easier to get the sleeper from scotland to london, to pick up bargin berths? and if we will be in the same room with the bargin berths?
Could it be a better idea to catch the Night Riviera down to cornwall? and do some surfing? However that makes the trip much longer methinks?
Thanks all, Yew

Currently my plan is as follows;
- -Get a Midland Mainline service from Nottingham to London, Ideally a HST.
- -Spend the day in london, Most likely with a museum visit.
- - Catch the Caledonian Sleeper up to edinburgh or glasgow
- - Spend a day in edinburgh or glasgow, either looking at a castle or going on the glasgow subway at some point during said day.
- - Catch a train home at the end of this say (possible extension to cardiff if tickets are cheap and connections easy)
