I ended up getting the 4pm KX to Edinburgh, and as advised I had the sausage roll, having first settled for a cup of tea and a biscuit. 2 glasses of red to accompany the sausage roll which came with an excellent sauce. Altogether good service.

Thanks for the info/recommendations. I'll book the 1.30pm which with Railcard comes in at £93 one way, which is not so bad.

Ha! But that steak was so fine and the photo so well done ;) Thanks for the confirmation that a late lunch would be in order on the 1.30. Any recommendations from the menu? My other thought was to pop into the new Piebury Corner for a carry-out and go 2nd, http://www.pieburycorner.com/...

OK, been away too long, but now planning a trip up to Edinburgh from Kings Cross this coming Friday. Three trains take my fancy (with FC fares): 12 Noon (most expensive), 1pm and 1.30pm (the cheapest). Any advice on why not do the cheapest? I know its a bit slower, but how are the food options?

lol It had been a tiring week :) --- old post above --- --- new post below --- No, I think it was a Virgin radio show

Currently on the 13.00 out of KX to Waverley this fine Sunday. Not done this journey for a while and I'm on a FC Advance ticket that gave me admission to the FC Lounge at KX - which was disappointing as both coffee m/c s were out of order and food v.limited, but still a place to sit quietly -...

'Fraid not, I opted for the 'British Breakfast' - and very fine it was too. I will post a pic, unless that has already been done. (The one shown just now was one of the last shots of the dinner that was once available in the paid-for restaurant car.) --- old post above --- --- new post below...

thanks all.

There seem to be four possible trains to choose from, the first leaving in late afternoon and the last getting in very late. 16:30 / 20:52 , 4:22hrs 17:00 / 21:43 , 4:43hrs 17:30 / 22:17 , 4:47hrs 18:30 / 23:38 , 5:08hrs Is there anything else, other than elapsed travel time to...

Morningside Station in Edinburgh has mythical status - still spoken about but not accessible in any sense

I see that this made the BBC website front page link :)

been a long while since I travelled EC FC from Edinburgh to London Kings Cross (KGX) but did so yesterday mid-afternoon, returning on the 18.00hrs from KGX today. Good trip down and was plied with enough sandwiches, tea and the scones to almost ruin my evening meal in London. Uneventful and...

many thanks

Anyone tell me which of the following are HST and which Mallard: on 3rd Jan 2012 09.30 from Edin to KX 12.01 from York to KX on 5th Jan 13.45 from Peterb to Edin or point me to where I can find the info pl

The one west of Reading is due for demolition between 23rd -27th

for short journeys from Edinburgh or other side trips I go standard. For what would be long journeys (>3hrs) then I fly. I have done some FC long trips and I have lowered my expectations so am less dissatisfied Edit: Having just posted I saw my sig. and was reminded of the meals I used to enjoy...

a now rare but positive report from me: travling on the 08.00 from Edinburgh, with FC single on the EC train. Late departure due to safety checks. Coffee served promptly. Full English Breakfast was good. all in all, good but 35 minutes late into York (my destination)

I travelled back to Edinburgh by plane recently and discovered that I had a 'good' ticket. small cottage pie with bread roll and slightly chilled red wine were the reward. sufficient for such a short flight but more would have been needed for a longer train journey
