• i'd go car all the way. less faff sorting the car in glasgow and shoving everything onto a train. plus if you leave at the right time, everyone else will be asleep in the car and you get some lovely alone time.

  • @Chalfie if you go car all the way. Stop at Tebay Services. Sweet scotch eggs and overpriced deli cheeses abound + a gaggle of Indian running ducks.

    I live just outside Glasgow and have done a South (Glastonbury) to North drive many times. It's generally fine once you get past Birmingham.

  • @Chalfie

    +1 for Tebay. Very easy to spend a lot of money in their shop. Food in the restaurant is all local too, I believe. Or at the very least, not fast food chains.

    Also, while it's a massive pain in the dick, try to leave London as early as possible. When we drove back to NI a couple of xmasses ago, we left at 5am. It felt like we were ahead of traffic the whole way to Gretna Green. I hate it when it take 2 hours to even get to the M40.

  • Looks like they’re affiliated with/the same people who do Gloucester Services. Expensive pies and truffles but makes a change from expensive tower zinger burgers and grab bags of giant buttons
