I hope to travel from Cambridge to York and see there are a few train options. One, that looks OK has only 6 minutes to change at ELY (see image) Is this enough time .. for two seniors

On Wed 11 Nov, my wife and I shall be travelling from York to Newcastle on LNER There are two options, (see image) at the same price. One has DISH menu and the other SIGNATURE Which would folk here pick .. I always thought the fancy Signature meal was only for journeys of over an hour

I was checking options and prices earlier on today and saw the route described above. Now I am ready to book it, I can't seem to find it again Yes, there's a journey via Ely but that requires two changes, rather than one. Yes, this will do, but I was just wondering why my initial route isn't...

I was amazed at how prices vary so much for Inverness Premier Inn hotels In January last year, my wife and I combined two 2-day breaks in Inverness and Glasgow for a total of £150, which we thought was fantastic value, especially when considering Inverness P.I. can charge £200+ per night in...
