Re: PL / FL / Scottish grounds visible by rail
Can't quite visualise it, but you're probably right about Hibernian's Easter Road as you approach Edinburgh Waverley from the east (on the East coast Mainline) to the north. I think, therefore, you can also see the Meadowbank Stadium (used for the 1970 and 1986 Commonwealth Games) and now home to Ed...

Ticket Exchange / ticket for Everton H
Due to a planned get together with some mates in Manchester on the Friday which has just been arranged, I'm going to be around the day of the Everton home game. I don't have a season ticket as I live in South Queensferry (as discussed in a recent thread), nor am I any longer a member of the Clarets ...

I live in South Queensferry (just outside Edinburgh itself). Have done for 30+ years.
