Hi! Not a question, but I just wanted to say Thank you so much for the advice about Train travel from London to Edinburgh. I posted a couple of weeks ago about expensive train travel and got several responses which were all very helpful! I got advanced tickets as recommended and I am getting the Family and Friends railpass that someone suggested that saved me over 200 pounds! Then the icing on the cake was their was a web special on the National rail Enquires website that I didn't know about until I was purchasing my tickets online - I saved another 100 pounds! Orginally my tickets were going to be 437 sterling pounds and I only paid 118 pounds! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! That's a $500 savings!!!

Well done Greta, now all you need to do is make sure you don't miss the specific train you have booked!

Congratulations! I just wish everyone could see your post before they bought railpasses or tickets, so they were aware that the potential savings are not chickenfeed. It is a bit of work to get the best price, but it's worth it. Enjoy your trip!
