I stayed in a tower and ate breakfast in bed. The breakfast was delivered under giant silver tureens. It was magic. Slightly faded but still glorious magic imo.

Disabled railcard entitles the disabled person and carer to 33.3% off railtravel, it costs £20 if that helps

I finally got one a few months ago, and have got my latest trip to Wales for under £30 one way (for 2 of us)

There's now a direct train from London Euston to Shrewsbury as well, but there's only 2 a day

With 4 trains a day - based on 1970's - if not before long gone mail train schedules - yes. Now there are (a) some useful commuter type trains Monday to Friday (b) the undersigned managed to get 2 Sunday services put in vice one so better options on the Lords Day.

Modest - but then - a bit better.....not exactly London Bridge in the rush hour ! (thank goodness)
