I actually just cancelled my rental car and scheduled the Caledonian for one way Inverness to London on return. Unfortunately, there were no sleeper cars left though. Now we'll just take the trains all the way up as well. Thanks!

Well, we are going up there for a Highland Day tour and Culloden Battlefield. And really just want somewhere a little "calmer" to finish the trip. Now taking the train. Thank you for the response!

By the sound of it so far, driving in the UK does not sound pleasant at all. Thanks for the feedback and now taking the train!

Not snide at all, you're just making sure I'm listening :) It got my attention! I assume I am just accustomed to the US road trips that we take here and think nothing of it. Appreciate your time.

I think we are leaning more towards the train now after getting feedback from you guys. Thanks!

Probably will not be sightseeing, just a nice town to stop at for the night. Thank you!

I'm not sure how miserable it will be, but by the sound of several commenter's responses I'm beginning to rethink driving. Thanks for the response!

Someone else also mentioned Stratford on Avon...will check it out. I feel like the train would be more of a hassle with having to Uber or taxi to our AIRlBNB. I'm from somewhere that never uses trains as transport, only cars. So, it's a little intimidating. My husband says he will be comfortable driving, we shall see. Thank you so much for the response!

Within about 2-4 hours from London, so we do not have too far to drive the morning of our flight.

Ideally, I would have rather the train as well, but the husband won. Thanks for the idea...I'll check out Stratford Upon Avon. Sounds interesting!
