Some of you know my son is leaving for England in April, he may be living in the Isle of Wight or Somerset.
I have found info on the net on Isle of Wight, but can anyone tell me about Somerset, and also if there is a train that goes from Somerset to Edinburgh, thanks much appreciated.

Somerset is down south of England and famous for cider making.

He won't be able to get a direct train from Somerset to Edinburgh. I *think* he'll have to travel into London and out again.

He could ring the below numbers for more information.

When ringing within England- 08457 48 49 50
When ringing from outside England - +44(0)20 7278 5240 (Please note: International rates apply)
