The arrival day of the last posting was Friday.

Is there an aversion to accessing the stations in Inverness and Aberdeen then using the onwards bus routes in those areas to access all parts of the north of Scotland?

Not at all, it was more down to the fact that the last fifty moves had been made within Scotland and we had already explored Glasgow, Stirling and towns both north and south of the Firth.

Deciding it is time to move on from Scotland we take the 15.07 CrossCountry service 1V68 to Plymouth arriving at 23.43 on Friday.

Relieved to be free from Scotland, we are in perfect time to board the 2355 Great Western Railway Night Riviera service 1A50 to Reading, arriving there at 0358 on Saturday.
