I'm in two minds about whether to go to this or not, as I've never used the train before and I am really nervous and my parents aren't helping me by saying a number of things that could go wrong plus me getting lost in Edinburgh, also cost which is looking like I am going to struggle to get train fares for under £40 from Darlington looking on VTEC website and I can't help but think would it really be worth the expense? What's now been said about trains has put me off and now I don't feel like I want to get on a train on my own. Also which train station in Edinburgh would be the one to get off at? 

Anyone help?

Edinburgh Waverley is the station in Edinburgh that VTEC services stop at. Although I believe the 10:28 (08:40 from Newcastle) stops at Haymarket on its way to Aberdeen, which is one of the other stations in Edinburgh. The majority of buses (including some of the mainstream services) stop at Princes Street which is the main bus area in the city I gather, and located very close to Waverley station.
