    Caladonian Sleeper - Can you board at Edinburgh / Glasgow

    Caladonian Sleeper - Can you board at Edinburgh / Glasgow

    Northbound, you can only board the Fort William portion at Edinburgh. I think it's reservation only but I'm not sure, best to give their guest services a call, but with an all lines rover ticket you'd only need a reservation to travel in the seats at no extra cost. Fyi an all lines rover ticket...

    What foods do you crave?

    Lorne sausage is a delightful creation, especially on a roll with brown sauce and a potato scone. Something I've had a real craving for recently is carrot and coriander soup. There's a place local to me that doesn't go too heavy handed with the coriander, and I find it quite nicely balanced.

    Lothian Group discussion (Lothian City, Lothian Country Bus and East Coast Buses)

    Frustrating though it is having a full bus leaving Waterloo Place or Abbey hill, to then be half empty by the time we get to Milton Link, turning people away is a no-no. The decker duplicate was removed and not really replaced. There's the same number of journeys as before the dupe started but...

    Lothian Group discussion (Lothian City, Lothian Country Bus and East Coast Buses)

    Layover point is now on East Fountainbridge, with the last bus stop being the Usher Hall. The Fire Service were complaining about the buses laying over at Ponton Street as a few drivers had been sitting with the engine running.

    Lothian Group discussion (Lothian City, Lothian Country Bus and East Coast Buses)

    No public BZL order. From the press release... Suggests something may be in the early stages of procurement.

    Is there a standard procedure for route learning for bus drivers?

    The procedure at my company is all new start drivers are taken out on the training bus and shown the routes at their garage as a group as part of their training period, however if a driver transfers garage then route learning must be done in their time, and a comprehensive selection on YouTube...

    Scones and the Correct Order of things - a poll

    I'm going to open a can of worms and mention a friend of mine that puts butter only on his scon then presses the two halves together and eats it like a sandwich :lol: Salt and sauce is superior in the chip department.

    Planning a XC HST trip

    I admit my knowledge of that part of the country is somewhat lacking! :lol:

    Planning a XC HST trip

    It's all one route. The train from Edinburgh travels via Leeds to get to Plymouth. In the afternoon, because of the length of journey, the return only makes it to Leeds before it's time to wind down for the night. The same is true in reverse; train starts it's day in Leeds and travels to...
