The best I remember was to Edinburgh from Peterborough,
£15 firstclass !!!!!!!!!!!!. We stopped at Berwick for some time due to a broken rail (or so we were told). Hst as far as you could see up[ or down all waiting patintly for the rail to be repaired and off again. Being First Class and next to the noisy bit I asked the guard if I could go and see the engine, this idea was aggreed to so in I went but was followed by more or less the rest of the compartment mnany of whom then complaind of smelling of diesel fumes, still it was a good idea for me.
The Boots trip to Berwick was another tale altogether.
Happy days.
