Day 6: March 10, 2025
Another epic day!
We were up good and early and on our way to Edinburgh Waverley Station by 6.30 with our trusty packed breakfasts in hand...
We made good time and were waiting for the platform announcement when David, a Waverley staple, informed me that our train had a door malfunction and, while it would run, we might be better off on the next one. We were - very efficiently - moved to the 8.30 instead of the 8.00. I was seated next to a real train buff, an actual signalman taking a short break to London, and he followed EVERYTHING on his app and we passed our original train, laid up in a sidings near York. Well done David!
The check in to our London hotel was swift and we were off on out first 'tube' trip into the city centre, a bit of a walk down Regent Street and a fish and chips dinner in Soho. We rounded off the day with a Harry Potter by Night walk which I think went pretty well :-)
