Storm Floris is due to bring winds of up to 95mph on Monday, with a yellow weather warning from 6am-midnight extending from the north of Scotland right down to the Pennines and North Wales. An amber warning has also been issued from 10am-10pm, extending from the north of Scotland down to the...

There’s also a general preference to fly to Balmoral, via Aberdeen and a helicopter. Although whether such short-haul flights should be encouraged is another question. But I can understand the argument for why it’s now the preferred mode of transport.

Could it be a timing thing? Adding that dogleg down to the waterfront might be to compensate for not going as far as Hyndford Street, meaning the timings east of the City Centre can stay the same. Although the same would be achieved by waiting at Primark for an extra couple of minutes.

If reports in the local press are to be believed, it's the Pensions Regulator that'll be wanting a wee chat with the owners - and suspect they'll go hungry and thirsty in that meeting.

Depending on the type of chocolate, it's essentially "milk 3 ways".

I assume it'll now be targeted services, like LNER designating the Friday 09:52 departure from Aberdeen alcohol-free as far as Newcastle. Edit: yes, as per above.

Perhaps I'm missing something, but that services shows as dividing at Carstairs as usual, with 1S26 continuing to Glasgow and 1B26 heading to Edinburgh. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:C01480/2025-06-18/detailed

Am I right I thinking all 74 variants should be going via Greendykes Road and Broughty Ferry Road? Because a family member was on a 74C earlier and it took the 73 route as far as the Princes Street turn-off, when it continued straight down to the East Port roundabout.

There is an access point down to Riverside Drive, but only to/from the former southbound platform. Streetview link showing the access: https://maps.app.goo.gl/4X6DR4H5anoZqPoaA

Oh yes, absolutely - I was adding further detail, not contradicting! There is a track access at the end of the bridge, from/into a Tesco car park of all places. But while it's a short distance in railway terms, it would have been very difficult for passengers. So train-to-track-to-train was a...

The Dundee Courier has posted a video showing the evacuation was to track, with passengers walking to a waiting Class 170: https://content.jwplatform.com/previews/36EaAsvA (Link is to a video showing passengers leaving the HST and walking back to a waiting Class 170)

The Evening Telegraph Facebook page is reporting that passengers are still on board (as of 35 minutes ago), having been moved to the rear coaches. https://fb.watch/y1C-C8Qxyw/

Not sure if this is the best place to post this, but a ScotRail power car caught fire today as it was leaving the Tay Bridge on approach to Dundee. https://x.com/brackens1/status/1895429949227663648?s=46&t=ok__OkqZ7gTBweIuhUaACA (X/Twitter post with a photo showing flames coming out of the...

Timetables for the 74 family of services have found their way onto bustimes. It seems the 74/A/C are to compete with the 5 (not 5A) on the Craigiebank-City Centre corridor by turndown down Greendykes...

The Dundee lounge used to be a normal waiting room, next to the bay platforms. But it was a drab, soulless place* that was hardly ever used. However, if they can return it to use as a waiting room in its refurbished state, I suspect it might get more patronage, especially from those travelling...

I guess it's no coincidence that Dundee, Perth and Leuchars are the only intermediate lounges, with all others being at termini. I would imagine departure and arrival times at those locations are such that people are less willing to arrive (super) early when departing, and prefer to just leave...

Attitude, much? I was reliably informed that it had “broken down” and went that way for a walk after work to see if it was still there. The presence of a McConechys van doesn’t contradict that - not least because the McConechys branch of Halfords does more than just tyres.

Unfortunately, it’s currently sitting broken down on Craigie Drive.

Why is a service from Kings Cross to Inverness going anywhere near Penrhiwceiber?
