That's what I reckon cod - it's the only train(s) that will get them down there in one day.

I could do Birmingham Int'l as its only 10 mins away but couldnt do Birmingham New Street

it goes straight down from Glasgow, the one afterwards stops at Birmingham, Preston and Plymouth and takes an hour longer.

Hi,NOt sure if I should admit to this, but I think mad women waving red pants would be great, we've been having an end of term easter egg hunt come supper,so I've only just managed to get on MN, I called virgin trains earlier today and have a list of stations and times, ds just going to sleep so will post them asap.

I'll just butt in here...do you go straight down to glasgow, or across to Inverness first?

Oh go on then, I'll do my best to do the Bristol one. What ages are your children bensmum? And what shall I bring or do you want to make it a surprise?

Anyone want to do Bristol with me?

wish i could join, but they are both school days, nearest station is Preston and it wouldn't give me enough time to get back to school pick-up.
sorry...hope this really works out

i'll represent carlisle...although on the way south being on the train will still be good fun at only 1-2 hours in the journey...what have i got to doooo...???

chatee , they will have been on the train for 7 hours

Cod you are so kind, I guess I'll need to rip up a red petticoat too to wave out the window at every station !Although maybe it shouldn't be red as the guards might think we need help.
My children are dd 10, ds 7 and ds 21 months,I'll make them little flags so they can wave them at all the stations.
