Now I've wanted to do this journey for quite some time and finally got around to planning it and on Wednesday 11th November I put that plan into action. The plan was for us to get off the Caledonian sleeper in Aberdeen and make it to Penzance to catch the Night Riviera sleeper. That gave us just over 14 hours to play with. There is one direct Cross Country service a day, however the thought of sitting on a Voyager for that time does not appeal to me. So we did some changes.
Here's the services we got on:

07:52 Virgin East Coast HST to Edinburgh
Onto the 10:51 Virgin Pendolino to Birmingham
A quick stop in New Street for the 15:17 Cross Country Voyager as far as Exeter.
Before finally changing onto a Great Western HST the 18:22 from Exeter to Penzance.
Upon our arrival at Penzance we were then informed the Night Riviera had a fault with one of its coaches meaning the coach was going to be removed. But the sleeper was almost fully booked. So they were looking for volunteers to stop in Penzance over night and as we had no real reason to be in London the following morning we agreed to stay in Penzance. Great Western handled the situation fantastically putting us in a beautiful hotel on the sea front with breakfast included all expenses covered + a taxi. Not only that but a full refund on our sleeper tickets and first class travel back to London the following day! Can't complain really so we had an extra day in Cornwall all covered by Great Western!

A great trip, very tiring lots of things to see along the way.
Thanks for watching
