    Veteran’s Railcard - Named Companion

    This is probably a daft question but I’m not quite sure of the correct way to do this and the FAQs on the site aren’t clear (unless I’m missing it). I have recently added a named companion to my Veteran’s Railcard and wondered on the correct way to purchase tickets for it. if I was to, say...

    Arbroath - Platform 3

    It’s a through platform and could be accessed from the north, albeit the connection was severed a long time ago. It could easily be reconnected if needed.

    Arbroath - Platform 3

    Platform 8 is the other side of the island where 7 is, the track there has been used to stable LNER sets in the past. Oh, I didn’t know the containers had stopped!

    Arbroath - Platform 3

    I‘m not sure what freight really comes up this way now, off the top of my head there’s the containers to Craiginches, clay slurry from Waterloo Quay and the odd cement. I don’t think there’s anything else but they are all quite short consists.

    Not a problem, explains why I haven’t been able to find them. Thanks for letting me know :)

    Arbroath - Platform 3

    It certainly would make sense for reasons like that. Out of interest, does anyone have any links to the documents for the signal, platform etc enhancements mentioned in the posts above?

    That’s interesting to know, thank you for that!

    Arbroath - Platform 3

    This is maybe a daft question but does anybody know why the local Arbroath to Dundee stoppers don’t utilise the third platform there? I appreciate that the south facing point from the platform and south crossover would need reinstating (and possibly track rehabilitation following vegetation...

    Model Rail Scotland '24 - damp squib?

    As I was saying on the other thread, some of the layouts were spectacular in looks but a lot did feel like a diorama. I appreciate technical hiccups occur, especially with the more complex layouts but I got the impression that some of this could have been worked out before the show. I don’t...

    Model Railway exhibitions (that you might also be attending).

    I think Eastfield is just being used as an example, mostly due to its gargantuan size and amount of rolling stock that just sat there, it should have been one of the highlights of the show but it was one of the largest disappointments. You are right though, many others were like that. I was...

    Model Railway exhibitions (that you might also be attending).

    Absolutely, I should have said hello when there! I was just in a world of my own :lol: Agreed, it was very impressive looking but in the ten minutes I was there I saw one train move. A bit disappointing for a layout that had so much potential.

    Model Railway exhibitions (that you might also be attending).

    Some spectacular looking layouts but I was disappointed by the lack of running trains, which was something I didn’t understand.

    Stagecoach Lake District by Bus 2024

    It’s a shame it doesn’t start a week earlier for my week in Keswick. I’ll benefit from the new timetable for the last couple of days of the trip though.

    Service charges added to bills

    Unfortunately some independent places do this, I had one do that recently and there was no mention on the menu of this. I asked for it to be removed, partly on principle but also as the service was poor. I don’t like this particular aspect of Americanism creeping in.

    Stagecoach North Scotland (Bluebird and Highland)

    With the extended night service trial having recently finished, does anyone know how the services fared? Wondering if they were a success or not.

    HELP - N Gauge Model Railway Builders required!!

    The N Gauge Forum is a very valuable source of help for N Gauge. Worth looking there, along with RM Web as mentioned above.

    How to avoid the airport public transport tax surcharges.

    Bergen - for 40NOK you can catch the Bergen Light Rail line 1 which runs from the terminal to the city centre at Byparkken. This avoids the expensive Airport Express bus at the cost of approximately 10-15 minutes of a longer journey time. @stadler - I did see your comment re Aberdeen and the...
