Now, I live up in the Scottish Borders which is 370 miles (as the bird flies) away from Plymouth. However, this is 460 miles by car...
I want to go down to the University of Plymouth during early August to look around, see what my accommodation is going to be like and also (if my results go horrible wrong- which I am sure they won't) be there to discuss some sort of agreement with them.
If I am going to travelling between these two points a lot, I thought I should find out the most efficient and effective method of doing so.
And after doing some research it looks difficult...
Edinburgh and Glasgow have NO flights that go to Plymouth airport. Would you guys suggest going to another airport and then getting a train to Plymouth?
Travelling by train isn't great either. All of them have changes at stupid times during the night, and the more convenient ones during working hours have something around 7 changes! If this was during the day I may consider it, but I don't fancy jumping onto several different trains whilst i am trying to sleep.
And as for the bus or car option... 8 hours in a car or bus? I think it is unlikely I could do that.
I am open to all ideas, but I will have to keep on a budget of course.
Thanks in advance.
