Looks like it is actually a shorter itinerary but should be 66743 or 66746 on the front if it is the Royal Scotsman.

Yes, I love that verdant countryside in North London!

You've clearly never been down the ECML south of Stevenage. Highlights include a row shops at Potters Bar including McDonalds, Subway and Dominos all in a row, the disused middle platform at Hadley Wood and the two car 313 unit currently sitting out of action at Hornsey. And that's before I've even got onto the line side bottles, crisp packets and general sh*t that ends up there. I don't know why the tour doesn't just shuttle between Kings Cross and Stevenage all week haha

I love the finer things in life, I have no issue spending a little more than I would usually to spoil myself or loved ones.

But £3519 p/p for 4 days in the UK including scenic North London!!!

That's stretching it a bit!!
