'Mode': TO

Getting TO/AROUND: GNER trains ('the route of the Flying Scotsman') leave from King's Cross and arrive in about 50 miutes to an hour. They are fast and comfortable. Some service use redundant Euristar trains. On the downside they cost the earth. I'm afraid the alternative is a bit ropey WAGN (pronounced 'waggen') have some knacked old coaches that trundle up to Peterborough in about an hour and 10 minutes. They are cheaper - and damn well should be. They also leave from King's Cross, usually from platorm 9 or 10. UPDATE : Now called some new silly name, like Capital connect express or something, but it is still the same crowd. NB look out for the Harry Potter plaque as you walk through from platform 4 at King's Cross.

Getting TO/AROUND: Unusually for Britain, Peterborough unlike many other places of a smilar size has relatively good east-west connections by all forms of transport. By road the A14 (passing by Huntingdon) is very useful for Birmingham or the East coast ports By Rail there is a regular service East to Stansted Airport and Norwich/ Ely / Cambridge Going West there are regular services to Birmingham and Manchester. By Coach a regular service connects Eastwards to Wisbech, King's Lynn & Norwich Going west there are regular services to Leicester.

An interesting visit to your hometown. Peterborough seems like a very nice place to get lost | annthracks Sun Oct 1, 2006 05:56 UTC
It's still there?? I remember swimming there in the 60's and 70's. I think I did a 20 mile walk to raise money for the "new" indoor pool round the back :) | ChristinaNest Tue Jun 6, 2006 17:57 UTC
