    First time I’ve seen the new trains out on a Sunday, spotted 306 and 307

    Scotrail HSTs - 4-5 years in

    I notice that the HSTs in and out of Glasgow Queen St stop well short of the buffers, more so than any other train type using the station. Anyone know the reason for this? Thanks in anticipation to someone who knows.

    Glasgow Subway new stock

    Another train breakdown this morning halted the inner circle causing crush loads on the outer for a while. Hopefully we can see an accelerated introduction of new trains over the coming weeks, the old trains are clearly struggling now.

    Glasgow Subway new stock

    Caught a glimpse of a new train today on the inner circle, couldn’t catch its number. Is this the first time they’ve been used on a Saturday?

    First Greater Glasgow

    I think the branding is pretty anonymous. I’m surprised by how small the “First” labelling is. Blink and you’d miss it. Perhaps it doesn’t really matter since passengers will be looking up at the destination display for their bus. But I thought the company might have gone with something like...

    Alexander Dennis/BYD Recall

    https://www.route-one.net/news/fix-for-potential-byd-adl-battery-electric-bus-recall-in-hand/ Interesting comment in the article which rightly throws a barbed comment at the Daily Mail….

    First Greater Glasgow

    The 18 frequency increasing back to every 10 mins during the week and every 12 mins on Saturday’s (currently every 12 and 15 respectively). Same thing on the 500. https://www.firstbus.co.uk/greater-glasgow/plan-journey/timetables?page=1&search=&date=2024-03-31

    Scotrail’s alcohol ban - pointless?

    A “petty obsession” which is consistently supported by half the electorate. As for being “anti English”, yes I’m sure there are some but to label half the electorate as such is juvenile nonsense. Back on topic. I’ve never seen a BTP officer on a train and so it’s effectively unenforceable.

    First Greater Glasgow

    Is the plan to match up additional vehicles and new drivers to increase some frequencies? Or are they short of what they need today, and what types of issues drive vehicle shortages?

    Oban to CRU

    Thanks for all the replies, clears up that little mystery for me. Perhaps better if Trainline displayed it as Calmac or Scotrail/Calmac.

    Oban to CRU

    On today’s Trainline departures from Oban there are two journeys listed to “CRU”, with no intermediate stops and scheduled to take 50 mins or one hour. Does anyone know what CRU is?
