I travel Aberdeen to London and vice versa every few months and in the (seemingly frequent, including today’s 16.00 to Aberdeen) case of disruption between Edinburgh and Aberdeen LNER seem to only ever give the option of road transport or another LNER service, rather than arranging acceptance on one of Scotrail’s fairly frequent Edinburgh / Aberdeen trains. Why is this?
Scotrail staff incidentally seem happy to accept the ticket even without official acceptance in place.
Generally I find LNER to be a very good operator but this seems like a very customer unfriendly practice. If I’d wanted to sit on a coach for 3 hours, I’d have booked one.
