    First Aberdeen

    Yes, I was aware of this site, but as you say, nothing is happening on the ground, so it's unlikely to begin production in 2024, or even 2025. On 27 Feb 2024, the announcement of UK Government funding for the project was said to be [my emphasis]: Given the lack of any more recent news on the...

    1S43: Why not calling at Arbroath Montrose and Stonehaven?

    As mentioned above, southbound XC departures from Aberdeen still call at these stops. It's only the northbound ones which run non-stop between Dundee and Aberdeen.

    1S43: Why not calling at Arbroath Montrose and Stonehaven?

    XC still call at Cupar, Ladybank and Markinch. I don't think they'd be receiving any dispatch support from station staff at those locations?

    1S43: Why not calling at Arbroath Montrose and Stonehaven?

    It is fairly clear that XC are not interested in operating north of Edinburgh. Indeed, they previously tried to have these services removed from their franchise. In addition to the "missing" stops between Dundee and Aberdeen, we have nonsense such as XC running ECS from Craigentinny to Dundee...

    Buy before you board…

    To take it a step further, it actually says (under Ticket Offices): "Penalty fares apply for TP". Which is the kind of incoherent drafting I've come to expect nowadays.

    Leeds man jailed for 22 months for defrauding LNER (and perverting the court of justice)

    His paid "work" (e.g. sitting at a desk) may be entirely different from the proposed unpaid "work" (e.g. picking up litter).

    Interesting to note that LNER's spokesman implies they are not a "reputable outlet" ;)

    Fraudulent use of Zip Card

    Your name and address is still visible in the PDF behind your attempt to obscure it. So you may wish to take down the letter and re-upload it with your details properly obscured.

    Leeds man jailed for 22 months for defrauding LNER (and perverting the court of justice)

    I don't think what anyone enters as their location on this forum needs to have any bearing on reality. He's probably not really called "redditrailforu" and my name isn't "kkong" ;)

    Leeds man jailed for 22 months for defrauding LNER (and perverting the court of justice)

    13 months is remarkably quick these days? I admit I don't know the state of play in the English courts.
