I make it a practice to always take an "up" train from Berwick-upon-
Tweed
To where?

To the nearest capital city.

That would be a Down train then.


No, it would be Up. Normal people go Up from Brighton to London, and
Down from York to London. When the journey is clearly north/south, Up
is northbound, and Down is southbound.
