Day 18 - Sunday 16th July
Train Trip to Kirkcaldy
Weather: Cloudy and windy
To visit Mary & Dougal at Kirkcaldy we headed out at 8:20 am for the tram to the Haymarket rail station
... and down to Platform 2 -
... and then the 9:15 Azuma train to Kirkcaldy pulled in.
"Looking to travel to the northeast of England or Scotland? You’ll find yourself on a brand-new Azuma train, operated by London North Eastern Railway (LNER). Designed in Japan fro the Bullet Train.
Rolling out to commercial service from mid-May 2019, the futuristic Azuma trains bring increased speed, comfort and reliability to passengers travelling between London, the East Midlands, Yorkshire, North East England and Scotland."
This one was actually going to Aberdeen -
Electronic seat numbers showed which seats we had booked -
The carriage was really comfortable-
The Family had a seat with a table -
We got glimpses of the new Road Bridge and the Erskine Bridge -
We got to Kircaldy after 30 minutes and got off the train to meet Dougal further down the platform.
