    Caledonian Sleeper

    I understand why CS have taken the action they did, they had no option the 1B01 got stuck at Dalreoch and started as 5Y11 this morning empty to FTW in prep for Sunday and they had possible problems on the Inverness due to flooding. Where I had concern is around the communication of the issues...

    The latter - poor finish, multiple items of damage across multiple cabins across the set. Also cabins locked out of use and toilets.

    Caledonian Sleeper

    Scratches on the windows, bins broken, lights broken, stains on the carpets, chipped coverings on the beds and around windows, scratches over the light and plug switches. Really bad. What has annoyed me more is the fact that we were not even provided the usual breakfast or any hot drink. Just...

    Caledonian Sleeper

    I’m on the Fort William Highlander tonight from Euston. What a mess. 3 busy carriages and now we’re going to Dundee to be bused due to flooding at Bowling. Not one member of crew could tell me until I told them. The cabin has REALLY bad wear and tear, my shower isn’t working and to add insult...

    Caledonian Sleeper

    Showing on other sites that 1B01 is stuck at Fersit Tunnel - Going to be a long night for those onboard. A fridays night as well, usually full both ways on the FTW. My guess is the 1M16 continues south minus FTW coaches and tomorrow mornings northbound will be cancelled.

    Caledonian Sleeper

    Has 1B01 also failed between Corrour and Rannoch? According to SR Twitter another train operators service has failed. Not shaping up to be a good night for Cal Sleeper

    ScotRail HST Introduction - Updates & Discussion

    I seen this set coming into GLQ when I was onboard the 0715 to EDB. The power car arrived running so I presume it was shut down on arrival and when it was restarted for departure it went pop.

    FirstGroup vies with Virgin in west coast rail bidding war

    I can see First winning West Coast purely due to the extra they've bid which will be a shame for VT but I can see them taking over East Coast next year as stagecoach will bid high if they lose west coast to First.

    The armrests on the 170s that are being refurbished were always plastic. Only 401-424 have material on them.

    ScotRail refurbishment

    Theres about 5 of them in service now. They look much cleaner inside. Good little refresh by ScotRail. The early 170s are not being done judging by the figures SR are quoting of 33. Hopefully that may change come next year. They are badly in need of attention, as are the Haymarket 158s that...
