    McGill's Scotland East (Midland Bluebird and Eastern Scottish)

    I can't really think of anywhere that would be suitable for running the Inverclyde network and the Johnstone area without colossal amounts of dead running, so I don't really think you can read too much into it.

    Is the Nottingham tram the most expensive railway in the country?

    I had to do Kelvinhall to Partick on the subway yesterday (I was travelling with someone with extremely limited mobility) - £1.75 for less than half a mile

    McGill's Scotland East (Midland Bluebird and Eastern Scottish)

    They're perfectly capable of doing roughly 25 miles each way on the 904 (Paisley - Largs), which has a substantial chunk of fast running.

    ScotRail HST derailment at Dalwhinnie (10/04/2021)

    Not sure where you're getting that from - the report seemed to have nothing to comment on for what the driver did?

    Football

    Benburb (based in Glasgow) getting all the stupidly long away trips - they've got a trip to Wick in next round, having already dispatched Fort Bill

    Football

    None - I don't think there were any trophies awarded under William the Conqueror...

    The "And in other news..." thread

    I remember reading about one where a player went on the 18yd line during the warm up where the ref declared it unplayable

    Cheshire Bus News (was East Cheshire Bus News)

    There's the flip side to that - suppose I need to be at Hale Barns on an Altrincham bound service, with the padding mid journey, I can practically guarantee being there on time, whereas if it were implemented as a longer turnaround, there's a good chance of being late.

    How is a ROAD accident disrupting trains at St Helens Central ?

    Without looking in detail, they'd possibly run into problems slotting in at Golborne Junction (northbound) or Parkside Junction (SB). Also, do all relevant crews sign the route?

    Troon Station Fire (17/07/2021)

    Reading the article, option 3 seemed to be getting broadly panned (and rightly so, in my opinion)

    December 2022 Timetable Changes

    It has an interesting effect down the Airport line - it's going to get 2 tph all stations Manchester Airport - Manchester Piccadilly (one of which starts at Crewe, one of which continues to Liverpool), Heald Green gets a stop in one Blackpool, Gatley gets a stop in the Cumbria, East Didsbury...

    The "And in other news..." thread

    I'm not sure what you're doing getting hauled up a chair by the fire service...

    Trivia: Genuine/sensible journeys, for which most (fast) results are via non-permitted routes

    I'm not seeing what the problem with for a journey between Berwick and Glynde - the Southern website is cheerfully quoting me the £4 off-peak day return between the two, on a direct train

    Most station calls by one train

    I think those two Chesters are supposed to be Whitchurch and Church Stretton

    I have a spend cap of 0 on my phone. This stops absolutely all premium rate numbers

    First Scotland East (Midland Bluebird and West Lothian operations)

    I got an X36 branded Enviro300 for it.

    Piccadilly line at Turnham Green

    The Piccadilly line only stops in the very early morning and late evening, as well as very occassionally during disruption to the District Line.

    First Scotland East (Midland Bluebird and West Lothian operations)

    I don't know when it started, but here's a link to the timetable https://www.firstbus.co.uk/api/timetables/pdf?opco=22&day=sa&service=160%2FS60&print=pdf - but be warned that it only runs on the first and third Saturday of a month.

    First Scotland East (Midland Bluebird and West Lothian operations)

    Can someone tell me if the 160 and S60 Stirling to Tyndrum are subsidised by Stirling Council? - I was on the 08:20 from Stirling last Saturday, and it carted the very freshest of fresh air all the way through, and there wasn't anyone on at Tyndrum for the return trip.
