    Evening peeps. :)

    No chance on the Bella Italia here, all booked. :(

    Looks like I'll be eating dog food, as I think Purina has mucked up, had another delivery today of 28kg. :eek:

    Shall I ring them to stop?

    this is an interesting route - was it the cheapest way?

    OH says it might have been simpler to get yourself to CREWE and then through to Edingburgh Haymarket and from there to Inverness - still 3 trains though :)

    I believe it was the cheapest way hence all the changes lol. The bit from Edinburgh to Inverness was a bargain though with Scot Rails Club 50. It was £15 to join after having the first year free and as a birthday gift they were giving a return trains journey for only £1 from any stations in Scotland .

    I prefer to go to Edinburgh rather than Glasgow but only had 10 mins there anyway. I don't mind the changes in a way as it breaks up the long journey.

    I ll just price the way your hubby mentioned and see if it would have been cheaper. I always go through Redspottedhanky as I exchange my clubcard vouchers for x 2 and if I'd have just booked the first option that came up it would have been £99 odd
