Question
Am senior AM. need easiest hook-up from ED.Airport south to remote
Roanhed, just north of Barrow-In-Furness. By Bus? By Train?
Please! Contacts! Advise! THANKS mfranbaj@yahoo.com
Hi Marlene.
You can go by train from Edinburgh to Barrow in Furness. Most journeys involve one change of trains, either at Lancaster or Carlisle. Usually quicker via Lncaster.
Just go into
http://www.thetrainline.com
and enter Edinburgh as start point and Barrow in Furness as arrival point and the date and time you want to leave and it will come up with all the options.
You can book the ticket on the same site.
You should either take a taxi or take the bus from there to Roanhead, but you will need to check with the tourist information office for Barrow on touristinfo@barrowbc.gov.uk for further nfo on how toget out to Roanhead.
Hope that helps,
Willie Wallace
