Trains are like rice, I don't like it because it's very third world!

2012 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE Auto Indus Silver

Ain't nuffin wrong with the east coast, we don't get midges over here

St Andrews is nice, Mrs Dave had an MX5 a few years back and we had a run down there.
West coast has the best scenery , but all the midges too ______________________

Look right between Newcastle and Berwick and give us a wave when you see Holy Island - we'll be there for a week. If you like archaeology, Berwick station is built INSIDE the medieval castle. There are still a few walls to see. You'll also get a fantastic view as you cross the river in Newcastle. Count the bridges!
Last time I travelled 1st class on East Coast I got a broken seat - in both directions. Their trains are getting a bit old now.

We are travelling with Cross Country so I hope I get a better seat than that
