Day 1
I set off early and make the long trek to Stranraer via Edinburgh, experiencing heavy rain, historic signalling, a rotten pub and a worse burger.

Day 2
Sundays aren’t the best for rail travel, but I visit perhaps Scotland’s most beautiful station, ride on a bus and a ferry, visit an old-fashioned sea-side and fuss a smelly dog at a real community pub.
Day 3
After a ridiculously early start I enjoy the best fish and chips ever, cross a very impressive bridge and realise that my trouble-free record when travelling in previous years may not be sustained.
Day 4
Across the Pennines again, another nice trip to the seaside and yet more undignified running for trains.
Day 6
I use the new Caledonian sleeper, travel behind steam and find a new use for Realtimetrains.
Day 7
I discovered a service I didn’t know existed, so they cancelled it. I came home via Wales and met an old friend after travelling by District Line train in Bedfordshire.
