[quote=Anonymous]Go to Edinburgh first or midweek. That way if anything screws up, your flight home won't be imperilled. In summer 2022, there were many train strikes in England. On our trip from Edinburgh to London by train, there was an electrical problem with our train route that halted the train. Our trip length time was at least doubled. Lost about 4 hours. Found out that these electrical issues come up a lot...bad infrastructure/vandalism/component theft. We were sufficiently far from London that we couldn't intelligently develop an alternative affordable solution to getting there. So lost half a day sitting at a station in nowheresville. I don't like to back itinerary risk up against flights home. We had a screw up in the Paris region in 2023 due to counting on regularity of trains from an outlying town back to Paris on a Saturday, and it cost us about $350 in unexpected private car service.[/quote]
