I just signed up for an April trip on the Royal Scotsman train. Anyone ever done this trip? Any tips for me?

I just looked it up. SOUNDS AMAZING! Was supposed to go to Scotland in 2012, but have to put it off a year.
Sounds just so excellent.

My mother did it years ago and absolutely loved it!
It's certainly on my bucket list along with the Palace on Wheels. Just wish it wasn't so darned expensive!

I got a much better rate through Abercrombie & Kent than what the royal Scotsman site was quoting. Since it's all-inclusive, other than tips, the per diem winds up being about the same as a cruise. And no single supplement!

David, I don't understand a word they say in Birmingham. England and Alabama.

Btw, the no single supplement is for the single cabins only--there's 4 on the train. I understand they're small, but contain the essentials.

Lucky, Crystal! we ended a Silversea cruise in London a few years ago and planned to (and did ) go to Scotland post-cruise. I really wanted to do the Royal Scotsman but could not make the dates work unless we left the cruise a day early and sadly I was the only who willing to do that. Have a great time and be sure to report!
