Cleodhna's coming back tonight, so I checked to see when her train was due in. Railtrack's web site gave me the times of the normal train she was on, plus another train that got from Euston to Glasgow Central via 4 (4!) changes. Curious, I had a look at how you could possibly make life so difficult for yourself.
This, it turns out, is how you do it:
- You start at Euston, and immediately take the tube
- You get off at Kings Cross, and take a train to Edinburgh
- You then take a train from Edinburgh to Glasgow Queen Street
- But wait! You're not finished yet. From Queen Street you take a train to Westerton...
- ...and then take a train from Westerton back to Glasgow Central
It takes close to an hour to get from Central to Queen Street this way. Compared to the 5 minutes it takes to walk from one stations to the other.
The mind, she boggles.
