Dear Peter and John,
Thanks for your last letter.Sorry, I haven't written you for a long time because
I had some difficulties to find the information about the price of the round-trip tickets of trains.
The crossing between Cambridge to Edinburgh takes around 8 hrs by car, 11 hrs by coach and only 5 hrs by train.
The best way of travelling to Edinburgh is to take train.Indeed,it's more comfortable than coach and quicker.But the
price is dearer $90 by train and $60 by coach(only on Friday and Saturday).To solve this problem,we can go on trip
on Monday because it permit to reduce the price:it's only $75!To be not tired we can leave at 07.56 am of Cambridge.
Well,that's all for now.I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
Mathieu

Dear Peter and John,

Thanks for your last letter. Sorry, I haven't written you for a long time because I had some difficulties to find the information about the price of the round-trip tickets for trains.

The crossing between Cambridge to Edinburgh takes around 8 hours by car, 11 hours by coach but only 5 hours by train. Therefore, the best way of travelling to Edinburgh is to take the train. Indeed, it's more comfortable and quicker than coach. But the price is dearer $90 by train and $60 by coach (only on Friday and Saturday). We can go for the trip on Monday because they have the special price on Monday - it's only $75! To avoid feeling tired, we can leave for Cambridge at 7:56 am.

Well,that's all for now. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
Mathieu
