Travelling to London

I'm off to London! The plan was simple, catch a 7:30pm flight from Edinburgh to Luton airport. That was the easy part.

The flight was with EasyJet, who I was very impressed with. The plane was clean and modern, and the service friendly. There’s no seat allocation, people board in sections, so I scored myself an aisle seat forward of the wings. This ensured a smooth and quiet flight.

Once in Luton, the fun really began. The luggage took a long time to arrive, then I caught a shuttle bus to catch the train, which I just made in time by running with suitcase in tow. The train took me to St Pancras Station, my favourite London station by far, then I walked over to Kings Cross and caught another train out to Ealing Common where I was booked to stay. The result was I didn’t arrive until well past 11pm. Off to sleep, ready for a busy week ahead, on my Spring training course.
