Without too much hassle we returned the rental car and got our deposit refunded. They then ran us back to Manchester Piccadilly station. Here we had time to grab some lunch, before our train arrived one minute before departure time.
Again thanks to Helen's talent for finding a bargain, we were on first class tickets. Apart from a couple of people for short stints, we were the only paying first class passengers so our compartment was empty while outside people were standing in coach. It kept us amused seeing people sneak in, sitting for a while, before being asked for tickets, then playing dumb and moving back to coach.
The steward we had was the funniest, he must have eaten at least 5 or 6 packets of crisps and drunken a few cups of coffee, on the house, sitting near us. He really didn't seem to care or he would have tried to hide the fact.
Anyway it was a relaxing trip home, then we were home to Edinburgh.
