How Can I Go From London to Glasgow by Train?

Glasgow is Scotland's largest city and is a stylish, vibrant place to visit. It is 400 miles away from London, but it is very easy to travel between the two cities by rail. A train journey from London to Glasgow takes between four and five hours, depending on which train you travel on. The trains depart from London Euston Station for Glasgow Central Station roughly every hour and are run by Virgin Trains.
