    HS2 Class 895s (Hitachi Alstom High-Speed)

    What was the original plan for Glasgow? The platforms at central wouldn't be long enough for 400m long trains anytime soon, if ever. So these trains in their current setup would always have been too short

    Future of the 350/2s

    That would be a downside

    Future of the 350/2s

    I was forgetting the HX was a separate franchise. So can leave it as is. Also good idea having more of the class 387 under one operator

    Future of the 350/2s

    Send them to GWR to displace the cl387 to Southern and allow more cl377 to transfer to Southeastern. It would unfortunately mean redoing Heathrow Express again.

    Banknotes (Bank of England) redesign

    A kimgfisher would be excellent. Foxes might be seen as a pest these days but I think they'd be good too

    Scottish Labour would build Glasgow Airport rail link

    A fixed heavy rail link wouldn't be ideal for those coming from Ayrshire direction. I like the idea of a people mover, but the interchange needs to be as smooth and accessible as possible.

    Little or Great 1772954145 Image is pretty accurate other than Celtic and Rangers fans getting on

    £2 fare cap comes to Scotland:

    Great for longer journeys. But for short rips they'll just set the price at the price cap across the board regardless of the distance

    XC Voyager Refurbishment

    That makes sense

    XC Voyager Refurbishment

    Are the refurbished Avanti ones to get the new interior? (Assuming they have some of them) Seems a wasteful if so.

    ScotRail Suburban Fleet (EMU and BEMU) Market Engagement

    The class 156 have been great servants but they are getting a bit knackered. One I got recently had multiple tables off with black and yellow hazard tape. Not sure why as there wasn't obvious damage

    Absolutely love them. The killer Gronk in particular!

    Stagecoach West Scotland

    Will 9 cover all 4 services or will other buses have to deputise?

    Haymarket to Dalmeny electrification

    I think the problem more is the delay in getting the new trains ordered and delivered. Better this situation than say the one with Avanti where they can't fully use there new class 807 due to inadequate electrical infrastructure

    Stagecoach West Scotland

    The number 4 has always been a bit of an outcast. Even the Yutongs were inferior to their other electric fleet. I think a higher quality DD on the 4 would be good. Also f you're putting DD's on that route you need to trim the trees back in Symington

    ScotRail Suburban Fleet (EMU and BEMU) Market Engagement

    Is there any challenging bits on the Borders railway that explain the reasoning behind partial electrification?
