Catch the train to Edinburgh

The first daily London to Edinburgh passenger service left London's King's Cross on 18th June 1862, taking 10½ hours with a stop for lunch in York.


Thankfully, it takes slightly less time today, but costs considerably more as your author will be discovering when he makes the trip for a family birthday.
