Exit: Station to Station Summary

Station to Station is told in the third person and begins at a bus depot in Leith. Begbie has set up a heroin deal in London involving Sick Boy, Second Prize, Spud, and Renton, who has moved back from London. The product is much higher quality than any of them are used it; so Spud and Renton have been sneaking hits on the sly. Sick Boy arrives late, and they all board. On the ride down, Sick Boy chats up a backpacker, and Renton shoots up in the bus lavatory. Arriving in London, the boys intend to meet their contact Andrea at his hotel, make the transaction, and go to a Pogues concert that night. Andreas meets them with his dealer Gilbert. Gilbert knows the Edinburgh boys are nonprofessionals and settles low with them at 16,000 pounds.
