What about shipping your luggage separately to the hotel? I know it's something that people do in the US when flying, sometimes. 2nd day express packages are cheaper and trackable, for example.

Does your employer reimburse or simply acquire the ticket? Maybe they'll foot the train price and you can make up the difference....

That's something I hadn't thought of, thank you. (Am also doing online course on models and just done the section on the wisdom of crowds and how a diverse set of perspectives can help solve problems better as you just demonstrate.) It's a strange self-catering shared apartment I'm going to, where you stop in at the newsagent and they phone a chap and he pops round with the key - maybe they're not geared up for luggage shipping, no nice large reception and post room. I can ask. Looks like £20 each way (plus the packing it up and getting it to a post office and being thoroughly buggered if anything goes wrong).

For shipping, I was thinking of a service that will pick up at your door (on request). Doesn't have to be one box, either; packing into a couple of smaller containers would make more sense. And deliver to the newsagent?

Doesn't mean you won't have a small bag with essentials on your person (Rx, phone, etc.) either.
