Probably a good idea unless they want to create more single deckers at Busby.

The official opening party arrive 1040 on the 1010 from Edinburgh. So you probably msu miss it.

Station opens tomorrow with first Edinburgh train at 0657.according to RTT.

Was waiting on a 2 earlier. The next 3 buses were 22, 33 and 34 minutes. So it would appear that AI is causing chaos already. They should have been every 10 minutes. When I got off there was 3 additional 2s in as many minutes. If this is progress think we should just go back to pen and paper

Will easily take that long to renew a platform and do the job right. The only side effects are 2 car trains can stop at the platform. No SDO on 156s either. Perhaps more frequent trains to move the masses and car parking spaces are reduced. So perhaps find another station to park or shock...

No I don't agree. The staff in Glasgow are paid from when they book on in Glasgow and when they book off in Glasgow

Perhaps that's why they are paid to start from Glasgow and finish at Glasgow

Guess the next time I run across the Glasgow based crew will ask then where they are based. They are paid from and to Glasgow however. Even in the closure time of Carstairs they travelled by ScotRail to and from Edinburgh to start the train. However they again start from Glasgow now again

Eh no. They are Glasgow based staff that work the Glasgow services and sometimes return on an Edinburgh terminating train. The only staff who travel by taxi are the driver for the Glasgow services. There are no Glasgow based drivers. They are Edinburgh based and travel back to Edinburgh by taxi...

Funny you should say that, I personally know most of the Glasgow based crews. They man the 0648 from Glasgow and return with an Edinburgh arrival. Then travel back to Glasgow by ScotRail. Similarly they travel to Edinburgh then Newcastle and return with the Glasgow arrival in the evening.

Thanks, guess these will change with more deliveries and others taken for mileage accumulation. Till they are all preduced, , mileage accumulated and passed into service.

However there are a few Newcastle to Edinburgh turns that could be extended to Glasgow, using the same crew. Then take their break there and return back to Newcastle and on to Kings Cross. That would remove the need for taxis for crew. Invariably it's the driver who is taxied. Glasgow has Train...

Believed to be 730014 to 730041. None seen at Worksop recently

Changes by the week at times. Currently all 379s in store, with 701101,504,505 and 506. With some Southern 465s and 466s. Going to Doncaster for parts recovery. As well as the the EWS 5 maroon coaches. Ex of Fife Circles. Been reported that 93001 is locked in the shed but no photos seen. A...

Guess it's not really a surprise considering The amount of DOO in use from Glasgow Central. No doubt a similar deal to the SPT one many years ago where guards retained their grade and pay but were Ticket Examiners. RMT can hardly claim the Safety Issues given the number of years it has been in...

HA08 returned from Wolverton to Mossend last Wednesday.

However there are plenty of spare Power Cars that can be put on the coaches. Doubt they all have maintenance or wheelflat issues. Even at least another 10+ coaches at Slateford that have yet to earn a living. Training should also not now be an issue. You get the impression that ScotRail have...

Really what the 1s need are double deckers. Using less drivers and giving more space and seats. Hopefully when electrics get to Dumbarton it will be new generation E400 evs. We can but hope.

The Dumbarton ones tend to stick to the 206. With an occasional trip on 1s, usually during the peak

The moral of the story is don't stable them all in the one place they may catch fire. There is no problem using hydrogen. The emissions from the product is water. The planned production site is Ayrshire will be powered by wind energy. Hydrogen has been used for many years in other...
