    Witness in court

    Right, so I'm going to the sheriff court on Wednesday as a witness. I'm wondering what happens if it over runs? There appears to be an awful lot of witnesses and I doubt I'll be near the top of the list. Citation only says Wednesday, but everyone I've spoken to says it's probably going to last...

    Scotrail being rather vague

    Is it just me or is the engineering PDF rather vague and confusing? http://scotrail.co.uk/sites/default/files/11427SleeperSept14.pdf The bold bit I do not understand. It's only affecting the Inverness portion, nothing to do with the Aberdeen or Fort William services. It reads as though there...

    Parcel delivery buses

    Reminded to post this by a comment on another thread.. On a recent trip to the Western Isles, I noticed the Hebridean Transport service from Stornoway to Tarbert and Leverburgh was also delivering packages to businesses and individuals on the road South. E.g. A couple of boxes of loo roll for...

    Kirkcaldy-Perth-Glasgow

    Is it valid to travel via Perth on a Kirkcaldy-Glasgow any permitted ticket? According to www.trainscanbecheaper.info it is, but I'm not so sure. Firstly, I've had a look at the ATOC easements PDF, but cannot find easement 030175 and map FD has a gap between Stirling and Perth. Scotrail's...

    Bus services on unusual roads

    Similar to PSUL, but for buses. No schools only services, but service buses to and from schools are OK. 3 I can think of in my local area, Fife. Stagecoach 41A Leven-Cupar one bus in each direction uses the B927 road, avoiding Kennoway and Bonnybank. One X60 each way per day serves a...

    Glasgow-Dublin on the bus

    I'm planning a trip to Dublin next month, I'm going on the Citylink/Ulsterbus service from Buchanan Street. Am I limited to the booked services, or can I take any bus between Dublin and Belfast? Am I limited to the Ultserbus services or can I take a Bus Eirann operated service between the two...

The track up to the junction with the main line is still a little overgrown. Possible freight use? there is a huge opencast coal mine to...

    Railway Bridges with Footpaths

    Related to the tunnels you can walk through.... How many railway bridges in the UK have public footpaths alongside the railway? Oykel Viaduct on the North Highland Line has a footpath retrofitted on one side of the bridge. Barmouth bridge in Wales has a tolled footpath IIRC. Others?

    Edinburgh [EDB] - London Super off peak return

    I'm travelling down on Thursday and would like to visit a friend in High Wycombe on Saturday. Is my ticket valid from Marylebone to High Wycombe, breaking journey (possibly overnight) and back to Edinburgh via Birmingham, I notice it's not valid on XC from Birmingham, but Virgin is cheaper. Thanks.
