点评:My wife and I, and two long-time friends, all of us senior citizens, spent a fabulous New Year’s Day aboard the Mince Pie Special, and we couldn’t have been happier at our choice of activity to do on this normally quite quiet and dreary day, with, usually, nothing open or functioning. The day was made even more enjoyable by the fact that the sun was shining, and the rain and snow held off. Everything went so smoothly due to the super efficiency of the friendly railway staff – the tickets were all laid out on the counter by name, so it didn’t take long to pick them up and board. The scenery was amazing, as were the warm mince pies – some of the best we’ve tasted, so very high quality. The tea and coffee weren’t all that bad either. Just a thoroughly great way to spend the day after Hogmanay – highly recommended.
