Sorry to hear that. I just got the email to say I met the required standard for Bathgate Talent Pool so looks like this has been done in a batch.

Similar situation although my invite was only on 15th July, completed the tasks over a week ago, not heard anything back yet. Went back into the system to make sure I have completed everything and appears I have.

Same!

When was the Kings Cross application closing date as a reference?

I was on it, terminated at Edinburgh Park and the announcement was technical fault. We were stationary at the platform for about 15-20mins with the guard walking up and down the platform as they attempted to get us up and running again but were eventually turfed off.

Got on an 8-car 385 this morning, think that is the first I have seen them on the E&G line.

There was a refurb in Platform 0 at Haymarket around 9:10 this morning.

Never completed a passenger survey but if I did I would be of the same opinion as cb a1. Travelling between Polmont and Haymarket daily for the past 6 years. I can deal with some of the short-term problems (crew-shortages, cancellations etc) we have faced as I can see the ultimate deliverable...

None of that is Scotrails problem. Thier only interest should be if the provision of first class is or is not providing additional revenue over that section being standard.

So the last G-E train from Waverley is earlier than the 23:30 that leaves at the moment?

Any examples? Not seen anything.

Yes, the E-G service before the 8:27 that normally stops at Polmont/Linlithgow was cancelled. No idea if that is normally or was a 385 this morning.

8:27 from Polmont was cancelled due to a fault again this morning. That is 2 consecutive days and one last week. I am not posting this to be negative, merely stating the facts, I also can't guarantee this were all worked or due to be worked by 385's but that is the train that has been coming...

Looks like another ‘fault’ with a 385 this morning delaying it at Falkirk High, 8:27 service from Polmont never appeared.

May have been. I recall seeing a post suggesting 385's replacing all the 380's on the E-G but that may not have happened entirely. The 8:27 at Polmont has consistently been a 380 for months so thought the failure may have been a new 385, although of course, it may not have been.
