Because I have little else to do today (lie) I've actually looked into this.
I can get a Virgin train from London to Glasgow for £18.50 (£18.50!!!!) and then a train to Ardrossan Harbour for £5.80. Not sure how much the ferry costs, but the travel cost at present is a lot less than say London to Halifax.
The Virgin train only takes 4 hours 15 mins to get me there.
The journey home is the same price (this might sound obvious, but it isn't always the case).
All of a sudden it becomes viable.
Hey Dani, fancy a trip to Arran?!
