# The train ride back to Glasgow - Link: https://mywalkabout.net/the-train-ride-back-to-glasgow/ - Published: 2023-03-25T03:55:14-07:00 - Author: My Walkabout **Rail strikes** had been happening throughout my time in Scotland. When I checked into my final guesthouse in Inverness, my host tells me a tale about how his daughter traveled up from Glasgow the day before, and had to stand the entire journey due to no seats available. It’s a three hour trip. **I had purchased a ticket months prior**, but was still a tad nervous that either the trains wouldn’t be running, or I couldn’t get a seat. I leave right after an early morning breakfast to see how my luck would fare at the train station. My ticket I purchased couldn’t be validated, but I just purchase another first class ticket. The station isn’t too busy this early in the morning. I wait apprehensively, but once they start boarding, it was smooth sailing. Hardly anyone else in my section, and the first class seat is comfortable. I relax and enjoy watching the Scottish countryside whiz by me as I make it back to Glasgow. ### Share this: * [ Email ](https://mywalkabout.net/the-train-ride-back-to-glasgow/?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20The%20train%20ride%20back%20to%20Glasgow&body=https%3A%2F%2Fmywalkabout.net%2Fthe-train-ride-back-to-glasgow%2F&share=email) * [Post](https://x.com/share) * [Share on Tumblr](https://www.tumblr.com/share) * [ WhatsApp ](https://mywalkabout.net/the-train-ride-back-to-glasgow/?share=jetpack-whatsapp) * [ Nextdoor ](https://mywalkabout.net/the-train-ride-back-to-glasgow/?share=nextdoor) * [ Threads ](https://mywalkabout.net/the-train-ride-back-to-glasgow/?share=threads) * [[ * [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) * [ Reddit ](https://mywalkabout.net/the-train-ride-back-to-glasgow/?share=reddit) ### Like this: Like Loading…
