So each set will take 25% longer to appear?

I submit all my claims online. And while I've had the odd claim resolved in 2/3 days most are around the 3 week mark. Payment usually follows 3 or 4 days after that. ScotRail is often virtually instant, and usually within 24 hours. Payment is always instant.

Depends on what you mean by promptly! LNER take, on average in my experience 10-11 days to decide, and then payment isnt immediate - I usually get the compensation 3 weeks after the claim. Although CrossCountry is even worse....

ScotRail are running a competition, the prize for which is an annual season ticket on their smartcard. There does not appear to be a restriction on which two stations you can choose - so which would give you the biggest prize? Elgin to Dumfries?

The SERLAP report of 2016 quoted £104m. NO reason to suggest thats tripled in the last 3 years.

You forgot - Electrify elsewhere and cascade the diesel units....

Assuming it is for "the North": Skipton-Colne: £100m Ashington-Blyth: £200m Stockton-Ferryhill: £200m

Not forgetting the Battery DMU used on the Deeside railway, which came from a proposal from the Hydro.

The track has been slewed into the centre of the trackbed there, though, hasnt it?

I've heard this before, but have never seen any evidence that the M5 was built over the formation here.

Hence Glasgow CrossRail.

Will they all be in service by that date then? :lol:

Isnt it against the Railway byelaws?

Has Kilmarnock started work on them yet? Feels like that was announced ages ago. 12 by December 2019 feels both ambitious (given current build rate) and pathetic (given original plans)

Plaid are demanding compensation from the UK for stripping Wales of its natural resources. I presume they think thats what will pay for this?

Yes. thats for my season ticket, though I assume it applies for any ticket. As I use it to get to work, I cant really just decided to travel a different day.

Nice one. Is that a coffee machine I see there?

My understanding of the rules is that you can claim if you INTENDED to make the journey. I will sometimes catch a bus instead, if a train is cancelled, and will claim DR.

Leaving aside the regular services which were cancelled - what more COULD ScotRail realistically do? I suppose it could get a couple of extra HST sets, there could even be a use for them outside of the fringe, eg when events are on at the Hydro, major football/rugby matches etc. But then...

I think the 365s are "no-nonsense" trains, in that they work well, have no frills, and just get on with it. Also have good reliability.
