Travelling by train is much more relaxing than flying. We had dinner in a nice vege Indian Restaurant in Euston last night, then a beer at the Bree Louise while we waiting for the train to to be available. At 11 jumped onto the train after being welcomed by the nice steward, who was all fired up by the breaking news of Michael Jackson’s death. Enjoyed a Tomatin whisky in the lounge car, Michael had a Glenfarclas, in a nice but warm and very slow atmosphere.

Good night sleep, getting woken now and again by the train shunting. Lying in bed now looking out the window, siping tea and eating shortbread (breakfast could be better, an extra £4, but it’s a bit early).
