A new experience for us, not wishing to drive to Edinburgh (have you seen what hotels charge for parking) we thought we would try Virgin East Coast First Class. First we got a Two Together travel card, which we saved with on the first trip. Automatic reservation of seats as well. The train arrived on time, and within minutes were offered refreshments. The food and wine was freely available, with the trolley passing many times, A pleasant white wine, by the tumbler full! There was a choice of sandwiches which were excellent, served by friendly staff. The return journey was similar, we also enjoyed the First Class lounge in Edinburgh, a quiet place to await your train, sadly, at the weekend, no wine on the return journey. In all a great hassle free way to travel to Edinburgh
