    West Lothian buses

    Odd question, And apologies if it has been discussed, but why are Lothian running some of their buses in White? Are they going to switch them or route brand them? White seems an odd choice otherwise.

    Weather related disruption, 19/09 (Storm Ali)

    Scotland is complete chaos. I think they are now managing 2tph between Edinburgh and Glasgow but that is about it.

    West Lothian buses

    Living in South Queensferry since the end of April I have to say the usage on the 43 has from my observations really increased in the last few months and it competes well with the train. If you need to get to anywhere in the west end of the city, unless you live right by Dalmeny Station you...

    Economic Case for the Far North Line

    No Idea where immigration is carried out but I believe that the South Queensferry and Newhaven Anchorages have no limit to the keel and air drafts, while Rosyth and Leith do. Additionally Leith can only accommodate vessels up to 220m long although has a berth of 375m (not sure what the limiting...

    ScotRail HST Introduction - Updates & Discussion

    I think you can, but I you would have to cross all 4 lines into Haymarket. If they are dining, hope no-one spills on the infamous carpet.

    Caledonian Sleeper discussion

    Probably cost way to much, be very impractical but stagecoach must have some of their sleeper buses from the discontinue sleeper Megabus doing rather little, should hire them for rail replacement services.

    Delay repay claims going missing

    I have had a fair few scotrail claims recently. All but one (the most recent) have been repaid so far. How they calculate the payments is a mystery one 30min claim was adjudged 2hrs but paid out as 1hr?

    Rover / Ranger maps that you'd change

    The Central Scotland, Glasgow Day Out and Edinburgh Day Out could do with a few rethinks. Offer single day variant of all three, even at a premium. Either make the central Scotland one cover the full range of the Glasgow and Edinburgh ones or allow at least one return between the cities on each...

    VTWC being naughty again

    Advance should be called something like specific train or specified. So you would have Anytime, Off-peak, Specific Train. There should then be an appropriate modifier to make it reserved. So you end up with Anytime, Reserved Anytime, Off-peak, Reserved Off-peak, Specific Train, Reserved Specific...

    Opinions: Liveries that you like?

    I really like the temporary Scotrail 365 livery (which I think is just dark blue vinyl doors and the inverted saltire logo on a the great northern livery) but it looks really good and complements the normal Scotrail Saltire liveried trains really well. I think I'm going to like the HST 7 cities...
