A little break might do you the world of good Smiley and I'm sure your aunt will love to have some company for a few days. Maybe write all your plans down with regards to your travel - stops etc and pick up times - so that you can be as organised as you can and refer to it on the journey and you'll be less likely to panic (I used to travel a lot by bus and train so I know that feeling well!). However, it sounds like you've got it covered already so have fun!

@ lyndalou - have done already if I was planning to go to st albans then they'd be stop at luton but its confusing as sometimes stops @ luton parkaway (airport) so my parents said drop me at train station about a mile or so from where we live so can do directly into stevenage train station and must easier for my auntie instead of an half an hour route to st albans train station I'm now more accessible! I got shopping sprees planned meals out girls night watching TV and eating choc so much FUN to be had with this 'adventure' and with this train route can't get lost and end up in scotland and town in northamptonshire where I live takes 35 mins that's all to get there! Even better,easier!

Good luck on your travel. Is the train just direct to St albans? I used to count the stops until i got to final destination. Maybe u could do that if u know the order of where u go past each stop? I also look at the time. I listen carefully to the train place too. I find it overwhelming going on train. Your train ticket it if it has a time train u have to get on then get on it that time, because one time i got on a earlier train and got into trouble for something i did not understand. So make sure the ticket is travel anytim

@ Special talent - I deffo sure I anytime travel train ticket! Have checked it over! Now being dropped off at local (mile away) train station by parents so then haven't got to stress and worry over changing over anywhere as direct route last place in stops @ is stevenage,herts so now no worries just get travel sick on trains (headache,feel nausea) so may buy some sweets and magazines to distract myself but won't be on the train too long as only takes half an hour! Bonus! Good times roll! Just text my auntie let her know half term dates were 'correct' 'right' had it double checked by office lady at work so know it deffo right no I didn't mean herts half term but mine where I live which is northamptonshire! Sorry for the added confusion there! Lol ;)

I think my auntie on downhill spiral to crash course to a breakdown she aint leaving the house (isolated and withdrawn) it awful to watch so hard/difficult! she seems to be hiding from the world hopefully in time she will 'get there' fingers crossed! She got three storey town house so rattling round lost! She broke having to sell items on ebay to earn some cash she in debt anyways due to my uncle's business went bankrupt and the house is on that! It's all such mess! She don't know where to start and begin! ;( I'm trying my effort pull herself out!
