Depending on where you're going in MK and which time it is the public transport in MK (called MK-Metro) can be pretty poor.
When I was there, I had a bike, but it was no fun cycling half an hour uphill and through not really nice districts to get to the city centre.
So if it's possible, I'd reco…

London can be a fascinating city, especially for one who has never been there before.
Places to see: How you conduct your trip ultimately depends on the time you have at your disposal. If you only have a few hours, the most advisable thing to do is to take a bus tour (such as those by the Big Bus…

London is an amazing city!!!
Things to do:
There is always something to do in London. I generally like to get a brief overview of a city before getting into serious sightseeing mode. Taking a bus tour is a good way to not only see some sights, but to also get an idea of the layout of the ci…

I'm writing this review to cover a very few items not covered in one I just read. My experience with this wonderful train ride was during our Spring 2005 trip. It was a part of the Globus Tour we were on so I don't really know what the price was. I do know that they were having trouble with some…

Tetbury's closest national rail station is Kemble which is serviced by First Great Western. There are direct trains a few times per day out of Paddington Station in London and indirect trains that will have a stop at Swindon. Swindon is about a 10 minute train journey away and the next stop from K…

I’d say that the biggest difference between the UK and American states would be the subtle idiosyncrasies in standards and definitions. The most obvious thing was the driving on the other side of the road. Now, even though I knew beforehand that cars would be driving on the left side of the road, …

This is actually not a bad little airport. Very small compared to other UK airports, but actually is nice and cosy and very clean. I am sure this is one of the modern airports I have been through recently.
This is Belfast's second airport, after Belfast International on the other side of Norther…

I booked train tickets early and managed to get some very cheap tickets
for my destinations. The most expensive one I got was 14 pounds. But
you need to book single (aka one way) tickets, otherwise if you get
return tickets it costs a lot more. Go figure.
I used www.thetrainline.com to book m…

If you're travelling to Oxford, there is a bus that goes directly from Gatwick Airport (both North and South terminals) to Oxford. The last stop is Gloucester Green, which is the bus station in the city centre. The trip takes around two hours, so bring an iPod or book!
The bus leaves hourly durin…

The weather is very unpredictable in London. Make sure you have clothes for all the seasons. I went there in May of this year and I experienced the heat, rain, hail, and back to sunny all in the same day. Umbrella is a must when you go out. It seemed to rain a lot even on th…

The West Coast Mainline. What Can I say about it! The main route from London to Scotland and its completey USELESS! Trains always breaking down, the line always in need of repair, even after upgrading, the overhead power cables keep falling down, people throwing themselves in front of trains, and I …

Be sure to check out the castle, it's really cool. I was there in 1998 when Norway played against Scotland in the world cups in France (1-1). We stayed in a church that had been transformed into a youth hostel. No ceiling the the rooms. Pub in the cellar.
