Hello all just noticed this one pop up today i think, Kings Cross up to Dumbarton first day travelling via S&C, next day out of Dumbarton for a trip to Edinburgh via the Fife loop, Sunday off, Monday return to London via the Blyth and Tyne, all with 47 haulage first class only all for a Bargain £295. Now at less than £100 a day that is cheap if it was standard class but this is first class and with some good 47 track what's not to like, the only problem may be finding accommodation at a good price in Glasgow but may be of use to someone

Details here: https://www.ukrailtours.com/product/a-scottish-weekender/

Appears to be the no-dining, no-accommodation, no-frills seats on the more luxurious trip that is next on the main list

Interesting. I am from Gloucester. What would be the best option to catch it and when exactly?
Kind Regards

The information in the link says that 'Our journey begins at London King’s Cross and we call to pick up passengers at Stevenage, Peterborough and Doncaster.' None of those particularly near Gloucester, but the 0220 National Express coach from Gloucester seems to arrive in London Victoria at 0550, and would probably be sufficiently timely to make the 0700 departure from Kings Cross.
