I think it's no longer fuelled at Inverness to enable an earlier finish for the driver? I believe the driver who takes it north takes it south now.

At least they *only* restrained this falsely identified person. Ahem.

I was on the southbound highlander in a Club Room on Thursday and she did the "see it, say it, sorted" announcement after the train manager's announcement.

The shortage in Inverness seemed to be getting better for a while but recently has taken a dive again.

Doesn’t seem to be enough for Highland to get the drivers it needs. Funnily enough, there were no such cancellations on Good Friday and I imagine there won’t be any on Easter Monday… Sorry to be cynical. Just to be clear, this isn’t a slight on the drivers.

Perhaps an odd question to ask but is it still Coca-Cola they have in first or is it Pepsi? Or both?

No timetables available online for those buses yet?

Is there any further news on these new routes (some of which start tomorrow)? The most recent information I can find is the press release posted by GusB at post #21.

It's all a bit pathetic and I don't see how it can be allowed.

According to the LNER website various trains which extend to / original from North of Edinburgh are altered "... due to a short-notice change to the timetable." What does this mean? Why has the timetable suddenly been changed? *Edit* Looking further, it seems to affect more LNER services...

If I were an MP I would simply not get myself into these stupid situations. Although, maybe that’s what being an MP can do to you…

Can't stand hearing Grant Shapps talking about workers salaries. MPs should make sure their own house is in order with regards to salaries before they moan about anyone else's.

Ah, sorry, I'm a bit out of the loop with these things.

In the case in the 3rd paragraph would a TOC dare to charge an “admin” fee?

And there is a proposed timetable change for July. https://www.stagecoachbus.com/service-updates/serviceupdatesarticle?SituationId=ID-09/05/2022-16:56:40:886 Some of the changes include my last bus going from 2145 to 2015. At one point I used to be able to get a bus home at 2330.
