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

    I wouldn't be shocked if ECB don't go in for the 123 on renewal as that's the one that needs the shorter vehicle, whereas 120/1 can take a full length. (I believe)

    First Greater Glasgow

    Very smart, are they going to have a crippling drivers strike to fully recreate the glory days? (I jest, of course!)

    Great day as ever, and appreciate the effort that goes into it.

    First Rail Stirling (Lumo) Rolling Stock

    I don't hold out much hope, ScotRail have completely given up on internal and external appearance fleet wide. All their stock is disgusting.

    ScotRail - New app / website booking engine from 30 July 2026

    I feel sorry for anyone reliant on Flexipass and thus stuck using the app. On that subject, the ScotRail website claims you can load to smartcard via the app. Have they added this functionality to the new app or is the website out of date?

    I'm sure it'll be addressed as a warranty issue.

    ScotRail filthy windows

    Replying to this rather than starting a new post. It's increasingly noticeable across the whole fleet. On two different 385s pre 7am and the interiors are stained and untidy. Chewing gum on seats etc. The windows have caked on muck thats been on so long its turned green and looks like they are...

    All cross country services suspended 23/08/26

    Agree 100% with this. The loss of a single office should not take out an operation like this. When I worked for a non-critical financial services firm, great expense was spent maintaining and periodically testing a local power generator that was capable of powering the whole site for a...

    ScotRail - New app / website booking engine from 30 July 2026

    As the on board and station TIS are options, those wouldn't be included in the initial cost? So 53% outsourced would represent what was in the contract and if so it's £44m for ~350 TVMs? Which would be roughly £125k each over 4 years. Maintenance of a metal box with a computer and a printer...
