    Monument Station

    Thank you. There will be 4 of us, and we're all north of 60, some at quite high latitudes. I just like to be prepared so that I don't cause too much unnecessary walking.

    Monument Station

    Thanks. I've read how big the station is with it's connection to Bank. I feel better now.

    Avanti West Coast or TransPennine Express

    I just purchased tickets. Leaving Liverpool at 9:24 on TPE and changing at York to LNER. Will have a 50 minute change at York, a little long, but it will afford the ladies a leisurely visit to the loo without rushing. Arrives at Edinburgh Waverly at 14:28. Total cost was 165 GBP. A real...

    Avanti West Coast or TransPennine Express

    Thanks for the great information. We will be traveling from Liverpool to Edinburgh on the 15th of April. I'll look at the routes via York. The LNER route north of York is pretty nice.

    Avanti West Coast or TransPennine Express

    Ahhhh, I love driving in the UK. Been doing it for nearly 40 years now. It is a thought, but it would be a bit slower. I know that I'd get hung up in the Tyne Valley where I've spent so much time. I'd better stick to the train.

    Thank you for your replies. If I book the Avanti service, would you suggest booking separate tickets for the Northern train from Liverpool to Wigan NW, and then book separate tickets for the Avanti train from Wigan NW to Haymarket (to give us additional time to make the connection/visit the...

    In April, we (myself and three ladies) will be travelling from Liverpool (Lime Street) to Edinburgh (Haymarket). I was looking at the different trains and it appears that both Avanti West Coast and TransPennine Express service this route. There is a TransPennine offering at 9:39 am which I am...

    Gloucester Road Station

    Greetings from the US. Next spring I will be taking a small group (4 of us in total) to London (to begin with). We have reserved rooms near the Gloucester Road tube station. We will take the underground from Heathrow 1,2,&3 (or is is just 2&3 now). My main question is, at the Gloucester Road...

    Heathrow to Kings Cross using the Elizabeth Line

    I found that also. No matter what I tried, I was always pushed towards the Heathrow Express.

    Heathrow to Kings Cross using the Elizabeth Line

    Thank you for your help. I really appreciate it. I've taken the tube in before and it is more convenient and cheaper, but I've been dying to try the new Crossrail.
