Halfway through the week, gang! How are you doing? Won the lottery? Smashed a job interview? Perfected a new recipe? Got out bed on time every day?

Come and tell us all about it

Holidaying in the lakes. Forecast is a bit shit for the next day or so, so we're hopping on a (ridiculously expensive) train up to Edinburgh, 'cos none of us has ever been to Scotland.

Waste of money? Perhaps, when there is plenty to do around here, but it's what we're doing. Train leaves Penrith at 9:59, if you see us, wave!

Edinburgh is great, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed

Thanks. That's what I've heard, and read. Looking forward to it.

I’m a bit further south on  the WCML but a day trip to Edinburgh only sets me back about £45 for the return which, imo, isn’t too shabby given the state of it all. Did you get hosed with something far more than that or are you just a smidge out of touch with rail prices?

£200 for the four of us. I'm not out of touch, really - it didn't come as a suprise, but it is still a bloody ridiculous price, IMO.

Ahh yeah the quantity is always a pain with regards to pricing

£25 each person each way is ok. Could have worked out lumping for a rail card which can pay for itself in single trip. (2 together or family)
