    If I was you, I wouldn’t Book to leave the same day. You don’t know how your gonna be after surgery or if your will be in a fit state to leave. I live in London and was planning to stay at home, but wasn’t phiscally able to. I was really poorly after my op. Book a hotel, then leave the afternoon the day after your op. Also if there is any problems and you have to go back to the clinic you won’t be able to if your all the way in the midlands xx

    Hey hun u could look into getting an open return they cost a little more but if ur not taking a Virgin train on the way back it should be cheaper. Prob best to stay in London until 12- 24hrs post op like others had suggested in case of complications that you can’t sort out whilst in transit.

    Plus u may want to avoid rush hour time due to crowding and pushing. If u can book a seat that would really help and avoid a scrum! Fxx

    We did the same, booked our seats in a quiet carriage too so it is less rush 🙂 and not rush hour or peak times 🙂 x
