Do you have to book in advance in order to get a train from central? If so how did you go about it mate?
go onto scotrail website pick the stations pick what time suit you then it gives you a list of available trains.we chosse the 13.40 on the tuesday because it was direct no changing at other stations.on the way back up though we need to get off the train at preston and change trains.it only cost us £60 each on a super savers return.it means we can all have a drink on the train on the way down
