I made the most of the delay by exploring historic York railway station and indulging in some trainspotting—captured some great shots of trains from Grand Central, LNER, TransPennine Express, and Northern Rail.

I’m now on the next CrossCountry service, albeit about 70 minutes behind schedule. But every cloud has a silver lining—I’m eligible for a full repay, covering both my ticket and the first-class upgrade. Edinburgh, here I come, better late than never!

This is the North Sea as seen from my train, just before Berwick-upon-Tweed

A view of the Royal Border Bridge just before the train crossed on it.

The viaduct was built between 1847 and 1850 and was opened by Queen Victoria.

I made it to Edinburgh Waverley. What a fantastic train journey, much better than flying.

Now I'm going to head to my hotel and drop my bag.

My hotel is very purple.

One my reasons for picking this one is that it's only 140m to the #geomobEDI venue.
