Yes, and I'm really glad you and Steve's dog have such a healthy relationship :)
I was also more wondering about saving some hassle by bogging off home later that night. From York I can get a train just after 11:30 which gets me back. With further away places, that might not be possible. And you've got the dog basket :(
Four hours on the train! Bums! That's 2/3s of my journey to Scotland. But wait! What if I come home then...
Ok, I'm a provisional if I can arrange to get home on the sunday and can have a place to stay and store my worldly goods.
