    Grantham to London (Kings Cross?)

    Grantham to London (Kings Cross?)

    the option to reserve on a return is greyed out. I THINK we would be looking at returning between 6pm and 8pm - depends on whether the kids want to stay or go (tiredness etc) We've never taken the kids to London and so don;t know how they'll cope!! --- old post above --- --- new post below...

    Lincolnshire - Portsmouth - help please!

    Looking at your suggestions, (need to get to Kings Cross) then tubes, taxis, walking etc - definately a no-goer! Is there any direct trains running to the south of the country where, perhaps i could drive and meet them at the station, up to an hour away? But thanks for all the in-depth...
