We caught the tube from Victoria Station, in the south of London to Euston Station in the north of London (£4 each) in order to catch the train to Conwy, Wales. The trip was on a Virgin Train/Megabus fare (£3 each) fast train that got to Runcorn in 2 hours.
We caught another train to Conwy, via Liverpool, then transfer to Chester, then another transfer to Conwy. We also bought our train ticket to Thirsk for Thursday and will have to go out on the platform and flag the train down in order to get on. They don't stop if you don't flag them. Can't be late that day. It was a very long stressful day of trying to make connections, but it actually worked out well given that we didn't have hour layovers or missed trains.
The picture of the tracks was taken from the train platform in Conwy. It was our first glimpse of the castle walls that we would explore the next day.
We made it to The Gynfryn BandB on York St. just up from the Lancaster Square (main square in town) and inside the massive castle walls. Italian food at Alfredo's next to our BandB was on the menu tonight. There is an Indian restaurant across the street to sample the night before we leave.
