That's a LONG time in the lavvy! Also got a job to get onto a platform round here without a ticket. Whatever happened to platform tickets anyway?  :doh:

Hurrah!
Currently travelling edinburgh-elgin return for £19; I've been waiting for 15 months to use this privilege - I'm sneaking in just before the Dutchmen take over and lower the thing to a 50+ club!

Maybe the 55+ will be reduced further to a tenner :)

Another point is the return is  valid for a month so return can
be made  up to end of April.
