Aaah, but trains down to London are SO long and expensive. No chance of it being more centralised UK?
My plane and train tickets cost me just over £100($150). Though I am going to see a friend - I'm not just coming over for a SMNC meetup.
I'm also a poor student, and trains are bloody espensive. £104 each way from Dundee to Kings Cross - and that's arriving at 1am, and that's not factoring the return trip, and accommodation.
that's more or less true in the US too. You take a train from one coast to the other, it takes several days, and is around the same price.
