Moving to Edinburgh soon so considering a season ticket. Anyone travel from that area to home games.?
What's it like trying to get back following a midweek game?I’m in Slateford, 10 mins from Tynecastle and Murrayfield. If I leave my flat at 8.15 I can be walking in to the pub in Boro less than 4 hours later. After the match I can be back in a pub up here by 8.15.
Where are you intending to live?
Always thought it was crazy that you can't back to Darlington in time for connections.Night matches mean an overnight stay, by the time the game finishes you can’t get back to Darlington in time for the last train back to Edinburgh.
AoF - Bathgate is a bit further out of Edinburgh, you would probably need to add an hour to your journey times at a minimum.
Jedburgh road is a fun road to drive mind. If your that way inclined.If a few drive together it will be cheaper than the train - 3 hours drive. The routes are a bit slow, North of Newcastle.
Where I live there are train ticket discounts for people travelling togther, who don't have discount card. This would help any of you whp pay full adult price.

Hate the A1.Jedburgh is fun but dangerous. Those humps are like a rollercoaster. I've been airborne a few times near Otterburn.
The A697 through Coldstream is the most reliable. There are some good straights for overtaking. I like it better than the A68 but beware the speed cameras. Sometimes there's a speed camera van at Greenlaw, sometimes near Cornhill, they nick hundreds of people every time.
The A1 is fine if you make a very early start or a late start but the stretch past Bamburgh is pretty awful any other time. It slows down to a crawl at the Haggerston caravan park in the summer.
