    I'm quite impressed by the prices for such long trips. Cheapest standard class day return trip from London to Glasgow (Intercity's longest trip) is £68.70 for two singles, or £155 for a proper day return. Pity IC probably won't let you catch it one way, if you had the need. Wonder if they've done the interiors to early 90's condition too?

    Today is the 40th anniversary of the withdrawal of the mighty class 55 Deltic class. Sadly missed after all those years. <BJ>.
