Of course we must remember that when taking about restaurant cars through the Scottish highlands it was National Depressed that got rid of them, it was just a few peak time Kings X services that had them. It would only of got worse if they had managed to hold on to the franchise.

If its one of the peak time evening meal trains, then fruit and cake are not loaded, there should be cheese and a hot dessert option available on those trains. I dont believe fruit or cake are listed on the evening meal menu.

I can't think why you were told that :neutral:

The changes to the buffet (sorry food bar:roll:) are in the main poor, no fruit still, downgrade in coffee and even tea has gone to normal Yorkshire instead of gold, no deals. All with an increase in price. Also the crappy bacon paninni instead of the freshly cooked toastie:roll:, dear o dear.

The parmesan is loaded separate to the pasta dish so you can ask for it without if you want, although yes its true there is now a lack of actual cooking on board. I've no idea if the pasta is vegan however. There is always plenty of biscuits on the train, in fact the new bicys are much nicer...

Is there any more disruption on the EC mainline compared to the WC? Wernt EC's right time performance figures better than Virgins over the last 12 months? I cant remember the last time I was significantly delayed finishing a shift.

Been told today that the NR track worker sadly died last night, he was 49, R.I.P mate.

Its difficult to give an accurate answer to that, they are many different ones. It will be a 12 week roster based on an average of 35 hours per week, so 420 hours over the 12 weeks. Usually the roster will repeat its self every 2 or 3 weeks, but this can vary from depot to depot, which depot are...

Yes you should be offered one, its The Times

If this were to happen its time to think of terminating all EC trains at Edinburgh and letting the Scotrail franchise take on a few extra Edinburgh to Aberdeen/Inverness services using the IEP trains. This would reduce costs on the EC franchise and still provide trains with capacity and comfort...

Cross Country can do this. Plenty of services are operated by them which are doubled up with only one guard.

Only now? 20 mins of the 1st episode was quite enough I reckon

Yes, that is still the case this time, now available to book by anyone on the EC website.

How horrific for his family and the driver too. Yes the internal emails at EC did directly quote the driver, but didnt mention his family being there.

The 1156 and 1230 are Edinburgh crews, while the 1258 is a Newcastle crew, the 1130 and 1201 are the only London crews around that time. Normal service will not resume until Monday 6th. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Just a tea or coffee, if its busy sit near the kitchen end...

Yes, we were told the driver of the FCC confirmed this, very sad.

I hope so too, but I fear the worst

Too much turkey for the bin dippers, out of the top 4 now, which is probably where they will be come May.

I did wonder :wink::lol:

Oh dear someone does not like the offering Source
