Are u implying dunblane services will be going to 3 car?

Not disappointed just inyerested. What abouy todays failure at linlithgow?

Another 385 failure at edinburgh park/newbridge today?

Anyone know if it was a 385 that failed at linlithgow on saturday? Anyone know the cause?

It was both doors on the platform side. So to enter or leave the carraige we had to move from/to the next carraige.

Compared to before it is better. There is still an issue with capacity however. Esp com8ng home from ep. I am sitting at fg awaiting the 7:57 to ep. It keeps getting delayed further.

Well in this case they were both out of use and the carraige was in use. So i would say we have a safety issue. Agreed?

Having both doors on a train that do not open in case of an emergency.

Only if u are travelling on e-g via fh. Then the aervice is palacial. Dunblane to edinbugh is still poor.

They need a lot more than they are waiting on to provide a service. 7.57 fg to ep was half registered length at 3 carraiges and standing room only. The 8.08 had 4 carraiges, one of which both doors were out of order. Is that not a health and safety issue?

Have not seen it mentioned on here yet but major kickoff on twitter over weekend. People complaining of standing like sardines both e/g to inverness and aberdeen if memory correct. An appalling state of affairs. Glad it was not me.

Its this in a nutshell. I also use fg to edin park a lot as well. Will see what new timetable brings but at this time i see no need for extra capacity on eg.

Hmm. Do other lines get that sort of redundency?? Cancellations are a fact of lines on lines and at least eg gets 4 tph. It just seems the scotrail only cares about one line that is over provided for.

Most of it is peak times morning and evening to and from edinburgh. Couple of times a month croy to glasgow off peak.

Serious question. Does anyone think E-G actually needs 8 car 385 service. I never struggle to get a seat at either fh or croy. Think on that line 8 car is embelishment for embelishment sake?
