The 90mph section is on County March Summit so the downhill gradient helps it. You find most drivers will start coasting from 75/80 but you have the odd speed devil….

Depending on the set, adhesion and driver you can JUST achieve 90mph in the down direction before going straight into step 2 for Altnabreac station. You find some drivers open it up wide going around the left hand bend which is 65mph giving you that little bit extra time to get to 90mph. Since...

Inverness - Dingwall 75mph max, Dingwall - Strathcarron 45mph max and Strathcarron to Kyle is pretty much mainly 30mph

The main issue is down to pay, conditions, shift length and vehicle maintenance. £12 an hour doesn’t quite cut it for the responsibility involved

Most of them seem to be out on the 900 services. 50405 is on 900s today as well. The transfer of work is causing havoc not only because of the dead mileage. If a driver who is on loan at Kilmarnock for 900s fails for duty then Cumbernauld must find and supply a driver for the duty. Given...

Yes, it is on loan. Stagecoach liveried Panorama 50404 also worked todays 11:10 M10 Glasgow - Inverness and 16:15 M10 Inverness - Glasgow 1648520262 54339 28/03 09:10 M9 Glasgow - Aberdeen 13:45 M9 Aberdeen - Glasgow 17:40 M9 Glasgow - Aberdeen Currently overnighting in Aberdeen so will...

I assume it will be repaired, albeit, slowly. 50414 is also in Ferrymill for collision damage within Kilmarnock depot and 2 Gold Astromega 50309 and 50312 seem to be there also for some reason. With Cumbernauld retaining their early Aberdeen, 2 x Inverness and bus station spare in Glasgow from...

50412 is the Citylink coach found on the M11/M20 workings. This coach is to substitute 50408 which was involved in a serious RTC on the M6 near Sandbach. Traffic came to a standstill due to roadworks but the wagon behind the coach didn't stop and ploughed into it. The damage was substantial and...

The whole of Stagecoach Cumbernauld allocations have moved to Kilmarnock for the next few months. A few Cumbernauld drivers are on loan to Kilmarnock to cover these runs. The dead mileage is crazy. It includes Kilmarnock - Edinburgh with most drivers going the long way up the M77 to Glasgow and...

Would have been 412. The only Citylink one in the Southbound batch

The current plan is for the Astromegas to go northbound while Panoramas only go south. There will be 2 spare Panos at all times in Cumbernauld which are only to be assigned to southbound work

Directors have put a ban to it since the change in fleet on Monday

The movement of vehicles to Kilmarnock isn't down to staffing. It is down to the atrocious standard of maintenance that Cumbernauld are providing. The breakdowns on a daily basis are costing an astronomical amount of money. Same vehicles, same problems, different day. The fleet is meant to be in...

10/10 for your sympathetic response. You have clearly never owned an animal.

Hi all, I’m wondering if the below is likely to run TS2022 on the highest settings for everything, thanks Processor - Intel® CoreTM i7 Eight Core Processor i7-10700K (3.8GHz) 16MB Cache Motherboard - GIGABYTE Z590 UD AC (LGA1200, USB 3.2, PCIe 4.0, CrossFireX, Wi-Fi) - ARGB Ready Memory -...

Excluding the information on brfares does anyone have the actual T&Cs for the Scotrail friends and family staff £6 fare? Thanks

Why be a grass? No one likes a grass. Let DTMs and downloads do their job.

The 26 - 30 isn't listed online but I believe this is a mistake?

I notice all railcard discounts are included for this ticket minus the 26 - 30 railcard. I am under the assumption this isn't listed as it is a newer type of railcard. Can anyone confirm?

Thanks for the info!
