Unfortunately, for those of us travelling from the North East, it would appear that services along the East Coast Mainline towards Edinburgh will be diverting via Carlisle between Newcastle and Edinburgh Waverly that day. Sadly for this reason I think I'm going to give it a miss this year as I don't want to spend anywhere between 3 hours, 27 minutes and 4 hours, 17 minutes each way! on the train from Darlington.

Only way I will be going if my dad can take me up in the car.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.

Don't kill me if it's not but it sounds about right.
