    Glasgow - Stranraer services under threat of possible closure

    Glasgow - Stranraer services under threat of possible closure

    In the timetable they feature the diamond symbol to indicate reservastions available and they did that on the old Newcastle to Stranraer services! --- old post above --- --- new post below --- It's not much of a distance from Stranraer to Cairnryan and why doesn't a ferry company launch a...

    380 in Britain NOW!

    So number of units permitting wouldn't it be a good idea to use class 320 units on the Ayr line if needed?

    Glasgow - Stranraer services under threat of possible closure

    In my opinion the bus should be from Stranraer as Stranraer is closer to Cairnryan than Girvan is but then probably the Scotrail directors think that they know best!

    Glasgow - Stranraer services under threat of possible closure

    In the North of Scotland there is a connecting bus service from Thurso railway station to Scrabster harbour to connect with the ferry to Stromness so why can't we have a connecting bus service from Stranraer railway staton to the port at Cairnryan?

    So will the class 380 units operate Glasgow Central to North Berwick and vice versa services then? and if a class 314 ever came back to the Argyle line would they appear on the Larkhall line?

    380 in Britain NOW!

    With class 380 units set to operate Edinburgh to North Berwick/Dunbar services will the class 380 units operate Glasgow Central to North Berwick services and vice versa or will a class 318 unit operate this journey and if a class 380 is used wouldn't this be good preparation if they are ever...

    Airdrie-Bathgate service

    Wouldn't it be better to postpone the Milngavie expresses until Summer next year? That way it can allow for arrival of trains and no disappointed passengers!

    Services That Really Should Exist...

    In regards to North Clyde services, if there was major engineering work on the line affecting Airdrie,Springburn,Edinburgh etc instead of diverting trains to run to Milngavie or terminate at Bridgeton we could have an enhanced Argyle Line service as follows Monday to Saturday 23...
