- Edinburgh is certainly a must with one of the most impressive city centres
- in Europe.
- However, Glasgow also has much to offer and is only 1 hour from Edinburgh.
- It is possible to get OVERNIGHT train tickets at the moment between London
- and Glasgow (perhaps Edinburgh) for around $40 with STAGECOACH. British
- Rail (BR) tickets cost $50 - $80 at the moment. Stagecoach also provide a
- free breakfast! BR do not.
-
- These prices are comparable to bus fares at the moment.
-
- Have fun.
