First post in a while. I am off to bonny wie Scotland today. Saturday morning I need to be in Oxford. Given the choice of flying Friday evening (no drinking with friends), flying Saturday morning (1st flight of day + 5am start= no drinking with friends) or getting the sleeper (11:30pm start = can drink with friends), which one do you think I choose? Yup, you guessed it.

Apart from the fact that Scotrail should be renamed Shitrail! You see, the problem is, in order to get tickets you need to register. When registering, you are asked the country in which you live. Perfectly logical, until you realise that a postcode address search is mandatory and that the only database that is searched is the UK one! Why do Shitrail not realise that Switzerland does not fall into the remit of the UK postal code system? Glad to see nothing has changed since moving.

There is a reason that British Rail (along with BA) are the laughing stock of the rest of the world, you know.
