the Posh train

Post by GlennP »

I think it's a company called Grand Central that do a service from Sunderland to London Kings Cross. It's all decked out like an American Diner from the 50s/60s with pictures of Marilyn Monroe on the walls.

Cheap tickets to London I am told.

Glenn is correct abot the prices. I have used this train a good few times for work - short notice cheap day returns to London compared to GNER, Virgin etc <£100 first class and <£50 standard - if you are taking the family take your Monopoly pieces with you to keep the kids entertained as they have Monopoly boards printed on the tables.........

Cut out of the rock by the Irish Navigators/Navy’s who built that lovely red brick viaduck.
