London King’s Cross Station To Glasgow Central Station For £64.35

My plan on Friday, was to see if it was possible to get to Glasgow using the historic route of the Midland Railway’s Thames-Clyde Expresses.

I used two tickets and four trains.

My first ticket was from King’s Cross to Bradford Forster Square, which cost me just £24.55 with my Senior Railcard.

1. I left on the 11:40, which was a nine-car train.
2. The train reversed at Leeds.
3. The train was eight minutes late into Bradford Forster Square station.

I took these pictures on my route North.

Note.

1. The Biggleswade Wind Farm Is Only 20 MW.
2. The new A 421 Extension Will Run between Black Cat and Caxton Gibbet.
3. A large number of new buildings are going up on the approach to Leeds station.
4. The train reversed at Leeds station.
5. The reverse took ten minutes.
6. The £100 million Shipley Traincare Centre is under construction.
