First class on the East Coast

I am in London for a few days and because I travel regularly on the East Coast, I have built up quite a stash of points on their loyalty scheme. The points are a bit like a railway version of airmiles. 450 points got me a free first class return ticket from Newcastle to London. I came down on Friday and return home tomorrow.

I took the photo above as we were travelling through Durham City. It is one of the classic views from the East Coast.
