Hi all, I am wondering if there is any way I can get hold of a full size poster of the "London's Rail & Tube services" map. I see them at stations (see pic attached) and I imagine that they are either thrown away or stored after they are replaced by newer versions. I can't see anything similar...

Hi all, I'd like to get a go on the Caledonian Sleeper before the old stock gets replaced, so I'm planning a multi-day trip to the Scottish Highlands and back for next year (2 people going, total). To make it more interesting I thought a good itinerary would be doing the ECML in one direction...
