"Arrive in good time as security checks prior to entering the airport can take up to an hour"

"Big, busy station with plenty of places to eat and drink with clear signposts on where to connect Thameslink, intercity and underground services"

"Trains to Edinburgh usually depart from platform 2 which is right at the entrance of the station"

"Trains to London usually depart from platform 4 across the bridge, it’s a big station so allow plenty of time"

"Free wifi is only an hour. Easier to get it at the kiosks by scanning your passport than trying to get an SMS code."

"Good food menu, clean and airy, away from the hustle of the airport"
