I"m thinking of sticking to my eco-friendly travelling for this one and catching the train again.
Virgin Trains go direct from London Euston in approx 4hrs-5hrs. The casino is a stones throw from Glasgow Central Station, so no parking/airport taxi hassles.
Tickets go on sale 12 weeks in advance (which is from next week). It might be worth sorting a group booking, if there was enough people from the South, who fancy a poker weekend in Glasgow.
Even if there"s just 2/3/4 who fancy it, might aswell book together so we could have a table and play a bit of chinese poker on the way up/back.
I was planning on catching a Friday mid/late afternoon train, and be on an early one back on the Monday.
Not sure if the Virgin Trains stop at all of these stations, but here"s the rough route if anyone wanted to join en route.
London Euston
Watford
Milton Keynes
Rugby
Tamworth
Crewe
Warrington
Wigan
Preston
Carlisle
Glasgow Central

Earlier time suits me also, and Holiday Inn Express is my hotel of choice.
I"m assuming it will be easier to book through Virgin Trains on the phone to guarantee seating arrangements ?

Probably...or one person makes the booking online and we ship it between us.
