Train not plane...

Luck was certainly on our side last week when, unusually, we had decided to to take the train to our meeting in Glasgow rather than fly! This was initially an experiment, since our research suggested that it would actually only take an extra half an hour to take the train door to door.

Relief all round then when news emerged of the Eyjafjallajokull eruption and our sympathies to everyone caught up in the ensuing travel chaos.

Luckily we don't have any clients directly affected by the flight ban but the financial implications for the airlines and other operators really the last thing they need at the moment..

And the train? Perfect in every respect..just over four hours from London Euston to Glasgow central which gives plenty of time for work, a stroll to the buffet car and a cup of tea arriving in Glasgow fresh as a daisy!
