I think that wait is a bit extreme when Falkirk High has a half-hourly service.

We instead board the 2150 ScotRail service 1R34 to Haymarket, arriving there at 2216 on Saturday evening.

Is this valid?

I've decided to strike-through, so no.

I thought it was a bit boring to get back on a route we'd already done.

ASDA, The Jewel, Edinburgh. I thought The Jewel was the area where the ASDA was.

Thanks for that. However, if you check on the vast majority of postings, the name of the area usually precedes the location.

I did it based on the one which sounded best in my head. For whatever reason "The Jewel, ASDA" sounds worse than "ASDA, The Jewel". Maybe it's just what I'm used to hearing on the bus announcement things.

No, Swanston is a little further south-east. It's an area in between Oxgangs and Swanston. The Hunters Tryst is the name of a pub and over time it is now become it's own independent area/suburb.
