I have thought for a long time that there are basically two cities - river ones (like Glasgow) and coastal ones (like Edinburgh). But Edinburgh's too deep in my bones for the river model to work as generic for me.

On the subject of the Sheffield to Stansted via Berlin routing

[redfiona99]

Being as both me and several of my friends are under-car-ed and under-monied, we know of the insidiousness of rail fare rises. There are a few work-arounds that the article completely misses, like early booking (which often includes accepting your fate and travelling at either crack of dawn or crack of midnight) or checking several station combinations to get the cheapest.

I say this mostly because I've organised Leeds to Stanstead for a lot less than that.
