There’s a variant of the 17 (the 17K I think) which has brought First back to the airport, albeit it is a peak time only service and doesn’t pass the terminal building but runs along Forties Road and Argyll Road instead. Normal fares apply. The 747 Peterhead/Ellon to Montrose ran until April...

Another for Coney Island, it’s a great run over to it and the station itself is pretty good

Aberdeen has platforms 1 & 2 which are not in passenger use but do store empty stock. Platforms 8 & 9 exist but have no track (there is a single track running through the centre of the trackbed) but are still maintained and could be brought back into use after track and signal work. Keith has...

That’s a sad state of affairs for them. Hopefully they can resolve the shortage soon.

Interesting point, which I think I will take into consideration next time!

I wasn’t aware a replacement had been organised already. I am assuming Stagecoach found the service to be financially unviable despite the subsidy.

I heard on the radio today that the X14 Kingswells service is being axed from late November. I can’t see anything on their website, just wondered if anyone can shed some light if true or not? Kingswells seems to struggle with retaining any service, which is a shame as it didn’t seem too bad a...

I recently hired a car in Toronto and never required an IDP. Not have I ever in the past 20 years I’ve been renting in Canada.

Took a surprise delivery of a Dapol DB Management Train in N Gauge, which consists of the DVT and three Mk3 coaches. Looks great with the silver class 67. Only preordered it over 3 years ago and had almost forgotten about it!

Interesting reading. I do wonder if the night services will be similar to that funded festive ones namely Ellon, Inverurie, Westhill and Portlethen/Stonehaven. Those four, in fairness, do cover a fair chunk of the city. It will be interesting to see if they do, indeed, come to light. But as...

Some great looking beers on that menu! Count me in :E

The cask ales are what draw me into a ‘spoons, I’ve never found any problem with them and there’s generally something decent on the pumps. They also have good real ale festivals twice a year (I think) which have some cracking ales. There might well be one soon if I’m thinking right…

The Scotrail website will have the timetable for the line, which will show the various routes that connect into it. It’s on a temporary timetable just now but don’t think the station lists have changed.

Some of the new Anytime fares are eye watering, for example an Anytime return from Glasgow to Edinburgh is £35.40! As alluded to above, it very much becomes a rich man’s toy at these levels of cost. I am just glad to have a railcard and know a few tricks to reduce fares such as splitting but it...

Cheque guarantee cards (maybe even cheques themselves…)

Having flown Wizz Air once in the past, I’d rather walk and swim to where I’m going if no other transport options exist. Those terms and conditions just make it look really awkward and I think I’m out. I tried to organise using a Norwegian Air Pass with Wideroe a few years back and that was...

I’ve been with them for a while and not had any problems. They were favourably priced for the bundle at the time but now that my broadband has run out from the introduction offer, it’s skyrocketed and they won’t budge from the “new customers only” clause on their current deals so I’m going to...

Interesting, thank you, I shall see if I can get a read of it.

Superb looking resource, thank you for sharing that :)

Evening all, I recently found out about the above service run by Via Rail in Canada (after I got back of all things!) and it looks like the last place you can ride the old Budd Rail Diesel Cars (RDCs) in paid service. It looks quite a scenic route through very rural and sparsely populated...
