Before arriving in the UK, I found out about a train that goes all the way from Scotland to London and back! Lots of people online said how great their experiences were on this train, so I had to find out more. The idea of sleeping through the night and being able to wake up and look out the window to see the countryside roll past was enticing.

This was what I was really looking forward to on this trip, an overnight ride in a sleeper train. It seems so Agatha Christie. 

Travelodge was a good value, right in the centre of London in Covent Gardens.
