Looks like all the st andrews BZL are now in service.

Stagecoach east Scotland serves several lethams: Letham (Angus) on 27 Letham (Perth) on 2/70 Letham Grange near Arbroath, formerly 37 (no longer runs) Letham (Fife), formerly 64 (now moffat)

Are all the ex stagecoach east Scotland hybrids now withdrawn with metroline?

1 E300 is needed for the 27 (forfar vehicle). Is there any plans for forfar depot to get electric chargers installed in the future?

I was down in Southport last and saw one of the arriva E200MMCs in metro livery. Just curious is southport and the surrounding areas part of the franchise, if so when does it take place.

The Carnoustie to dundee 4bph is welcome indeed, better than the pre-covid/conductor era but it's only 1bph to ninewells as opposed to 2bph. Also, is muirdrum village no longer being served from September. The 73 appears no longer serving Cliffburn, instead a new 76A replaces it.

Waterfront hotel, southport Stayed there with my parents for 1 night (Monday to Tuesday), excellent breakfast (dinner menu was poor, so went to wetherspoons instead) and great room with the view towards Blackpool

The white hart inn, nettlebed Stayed there from Tuesday to Thursday with my parents and my dog. Terrific pub/hotel with excellent food. Only 10mins drive from M42 and Henley-on-Thames

Don't see any changes to scotrail services

XC are extending their Edinburgh services to Glasgow Central every 2hrs, which includes a direct train from Bournemouth. The early morning 2A01 dundee to Aberdeen now start from Edinburgh at 0530

Bit of topic regarding electrification but the disused platform 3 at arbroath could potentially be reinstated sometime in the future as vegetation was recently cut back

Given that the games are due to start in over 100 days time. Do we know if there is going to dedicated shuttle buses for the games or will people travel on existing services to the venues. Can't seem to find any information regarding public transport for the games in Glasgow anywhere so far.

I'm assuming the dundee Loop and the perth branch Loop will be wired as well?

I noticed on Scot-Rail.groups.io that OHL installation between Thornton and Seafield, Kirkcaldy was due to begin at the weekend and last until end of next year

Noticed on bustimes that stagecoach east Scotland 27125/6 have been transferred to stockport. Any ideas why?
