Cornwall - Great Western Railway - London
TOUR INFO "All aboard! Bid a fond farewell to Cornwall and board your Great Western Railway car en route to London’s Paddington Station. Sit back, relax and enjoy the stunning English countryside. Your welcome to England’s bustling capital begins with a local expert who will show you the quintessential sights, including Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, and Buckingham Palace."

The bus driver will be taking our bags to the hotel in London after dropping us at the train station.   We have very comfortable seats on the Great Western Railway.  We are traveling on the train as it will get us to London faster and we are having a “train” experience.  We left about 8:45 and arrived at 1:15. The scenery is lovely even though the skies are cloudy.  A local guide and bus picked us up at the station and took us on a tour of London.  Dinner tonight was in a great pub next to the hotel.
