    West coast main line problems this morning (16/05)

    Trivia: Longest non stop run on a 150 (or other sprinter)

    No 150s in Scotland but plenty of 156/158s 156 will do Glasgow to Mallaig over 5 hours or Glasgow to Newcastle via Dumfries. 158 will cover Glasgow or Edinburgh up to Aberdeen or Inverness ans also routes north of Inverness. Long runs

    Hidden Glasgow Central platform to be opened to tourists

    Been on the brilliant tour and this was mentioned. I believe access is relatively easy to join to the working line at one end however on the other side there are foundations of the Westergate building which I think are on the trackbed so reopening for full use is not easily achievable
