@DoseofReality I think you asked about the train trip, it was amazing.
I was sat with a lovely lady who got on at Dunbar, we had loads in common, and I knew the 2 couples sat across the aisle from me, they didn't know each other but I knew both. It was such a lovely, lovely day. It was a long time on the train but there were lengthy stops where you could get out and stretch your legs.
I enjoyed it so much I've booked another one in September (to Aviemore this time). This one isn't such a long day and I'm hoping there's time to do the steam train at Aviemore.
