I was looking forward to going, as soon as I saw the event appear on Facebook I was checking train times/fares and I made the unfortunate discovery. I'm not prepared to put myself through journeys with a minimum travel time of three hours and a half hours (each way) when it normally takes between two - two and a half hours from Darlington.

If anyone is prepared to go, the train fares are currently pretty cheap.

Going to look into doing Edinburgh another day now.
