Did this on Saturday. 470 mile round trip, not bad value for a £38.60 walk-up ticket! And as an added bonus, all seven trains travelled on were bang on time, with no connections missed!

What route did your Glasgow - Haymarket train take?

 

[Mcr Warrior]

With the train manager's o.k., I got a train from Glasgow Queen Street to Larbert (calling at Croy en route), then another one from Larbert to Edinburgh, but Scotrail were also operating some "direct" trains from Glasgow Queen Street to Edinburgh on Saturday calling at various stations including Croy, Falkirk Grahamston and Haymarket, as the line via Falkirk High was closed for engineering works.
