... "would have to pay to take a train to Edinburgh at that time of year". If you didn't want to advance purchase then the saver £112.40 is valid on most or perhaps of the possible trains.

Not forgetting the 20 Woodbine. ...and a sniff of the barmaid's, er...apron. -- Moving things in still pictures!
