    LU/Elizabeth Line 4G update

    Does this mean there's coverage starting to creep past Victoria in the southbound direction now?

    Easyjet news

    Easyjet do have the edge on one thing. If they promise you a refund they actually give you it. I'm having the most tremendous trouble getting a refund out of loganair at the moment.

    Stagecoach West Scotland

    Had a feeling that wouldn't be long till it happened. Truly terrible state of affairs. The service will no doubt suffer as a result and people will stop using it. That's probably what they wanted.

    Bus Manufacturer News & Discussion

    Could do with some diesel singles for Kent as well if they've got their chequebook out

    Ember: Electric coach service

    A run to Dumfries would be extremely welcome

    Accommodation suggestions and reviews

    Even in terms of quality, I think pi have somewhat slumped. Too many minor maintenance issues that when combined you really wouldn't expect for the money you're paying, and of course there's the ongoing nonsense with food and restaurants which ultimately will come back to bite them as people...

    Lothian Group discussion (Lothian City, Lothian Country Bus and East Coast Buses)

    A fast bus from fort canaide into the city will pay its way, I think they probably got shot in the arm by removing an East coast service from the Western general, although I no longer live in Edinburgh. I certainly missed it on two occasions recently when I was up that way. So the fact this is...

    Ember: Electric coach service

    They'll need to do something a bit unique to make Edinburgh Glasgow work. I don't know what the loadings are like at the moment, but apparently most of the time there's nothing but fresh air on the McGills Edinburgh Glasgow run while 900 continues to be packed on many runs

    Accommodation suggestions and reviews

    PI have totally lost the plot, haven't stayed in one for a year now and was a while since I even looked, in fact the other week I even deleted the app

    Calmac / Northlink Ferry discussion

    This must surely be the end for her now

    ScotRail Suburban Fleet (EMU and BEMU) Market Engagement

    The numbers quoted above certainly do not include replacement of the rather large class 334 fleet, which in any case, could probably if maintained and refurbished go on until 2040. Possibly if an option is taken up for more of the electric model these could be changed. I would also have said...

    Why Does GWR Think That a 2 Coach Train is Adequate on the Weymouth Run?

    For me, this simply symbolises a real way that has failed to address the needs of its customers and continues to fail to do so. Okay, so passenger numbers in the 1980s and early '90s when a lot of these units were built, justified the train lengths procured and put into service at that time, but...

    SRPS Railtours news

    Given that for many, many years, the srps ran half a dozen of these each season and that this year's price was hiked quite a bit. I can't say I'm surprised. I would agree that with Edinburgh and its surrounding environs packed to the rafters with high season and festival tourists that these...

    Ember: Electric coach service

    Refer from making excessive profits. I suspect they are simply highlighting or attempting to highlight the true cost of what the system actually is to operate

    London North Eastern Railway (LNER) First Class service

    Failed air conditioning again? This was the case when I was through the cross last week, wasn't riding in first but there were an awful lot of unhappy punters baking alive under the main concourse roof who would most definitely have rather been in the lounge
