I remember travelling from Euston. The return fare was 222 shillings (£11.10). The journey took eight hours. When I got on at Euston there were three schoolgirls (looked like sisters) accompanying me in my comparment, obviously returning to boarding school. They were very loud and giggly but I thought they'd probably get off at Rugby or Stafford or somewhere..
Where did they get off? Bloody Gleneagles (for Auchterarder). Just one stop and 20 minutes before Perth! Nightmare journey!
Anyway, our training school and accommodation was in Viewlands Road and we spent some time at the company's Head Office which was in the middle of town on Tay Street, overlooking the river.
Perth seemed a nice place and I can understand it coming high on the list of pleasant places to live (though I recall we had some trouble getting a drink on Sundays). We had a walk up Kinnoul Hill and took the train to Edinburgh on one of the Saturdays so that we could travel over the Forth Bridge.
That said, although I was booked to return to London on Saturday morning, I'd decided by Friday I'd had enough. I managed to squeeze on to a train that left Perth around 8pm and arrived back in London at about 6am. There was only so much of Scotland a London boy could take!
I tell people that I live in the city centre. That means different things to different people.
It is almost silent outside, with some passing traffic that is steady but rarely busy. It gets a little noisy when the pubs close, but compared to places like Nottingham (where my brother stays), Perth is still a wee county town.
I think that's the happiest place in Scotland. The happiest place in UK is Woodbridge apparently:
