When we are planning to travel between Central Scotland and London, there are many factors which may go towards deciding how we do so. It’s a journey I have made many times latterly by 3 absolutely different techniques of transport so I will be able to in this post hopefully offer an helicopter view of the advantages and flaws of each technique.

When we are faced with travelling between Central Scotland and London, the explanation for which we are doing so is sure to have serious bearing on the technique we select. If we are travelling for business reasons, as an example, it’s likely that we intend to elect to fly. This suggests that we travel by the most time efficient methodology and also that it is improbable we’re going to be needed to worry ourselves with the price as our employer will be picking up the tab!

If we are travelling for maybe a weekend break, the amount of us travelling may go some way to determining how we travel, as well as our schedule. It could be that we feel like go by train or overnite by bus in these circumstances, either to keep the price tag down or to save us making further onward travel agreements from whichever airfield we fly to.

Flying from Central Scotland to London means essentially leaving from either Glasgow or Edinburgh to either of them of the airfields in the London area. It is feasible to fly with Brit Airways in either respect but the experience I had latterly of flying with Brit Airways from Glasgow to Heathrow has put me off this option for the present. The issue is that we arrive at Terminal five at Heathrow and this terminal is still having significant “teething” difficulties. It is feasible to fly with one of the cheap airlines to like Luton and travel on to London by bus. This onward journey takes just over an hour. The option I’ve found best is to fly with UK Midland from either Glasgow or Edinburgh to Heathrow Terminal one. It’s also feasible to obtain these flights reasonably cost-effectively if we are prepared to go at off top business times , for example lunch time.

We will travel to London from either Glasgow or Edinburgh by train. From Glasgow, we’ve got the option of travelling with either Virgin down the West Coast to London Euston or with National Express down the East Coast to London Kings Cross. This latter option is available too from Edinburgh. The journey takes roughly 7 hours from Glasgow or 6 from Edinburgh. This is a particularly snug way in which to go but if we don’t book far enough ahead, may also be a particularly dear one.

Travelling probably overnite by bus from Glasgow or Edinburgh to London is most liable to be the least expensive type of travel. By booking 7 days ahead or more, we will get superb deals. The difficulty for me with this style of travel is that I find it awfully hard to get any sleep on the bus and am some distance from being at my best the subsequent day. I have travelled by this strategy many times but would need to be hard pushed to do so again in a rush.

My favorite system , of travelling between Central Scotland and London? I have no hesitation at all in asserting the methodology I’ve used on the past few occasions will be the one I use for the obvious future and that’s by flying with English Midland from Glasgow to London Heathrow.
