Tonight's Glasgow to London is being started at Edinburgh due to "an unexpected operational issue". https://x.com/i/status/2075177704962273777

A friend's husband was on the above train today and had to evacuate as it has "caught fire".

ta. Yeah that road closure is a significant PITA. It didn't turn up at all, though. I waited there two hours whilst TPE arranged a rail replacement bus replacement taxi to rescue me.

The 1808 rail replacement bus, which was advertised in national rail enquiries, was. RTT for 1843 Rail Replacement Bus at Ulleskelf on 2nd August 1754233007 Ah! Thank you!
