Chris and I decided that for comfort and luggage hauling (we had 4 large suitcases, 1 small, plus backpacks, purses and such) we would break up days of train travel with long distance taxi's. They were relatively the same price and would stop anywhere you asked (food, bathroom, photo). In theory it seemed like an excellent alternative until our taxi arrived to drive us from Edinburgh to Liverpool. As you can see from the photo, it was more like a clown car. Some of us were sitting on luggage, others propping out feet on luggage...at times it felt we'd need the jaws of life to get us out!
