    ScotRail cancelling services July 2024

    No driver should be paying higher rate tax, they should be paying the maximum they can into BRASS or AVC's (additional pension contributions). On a month you do a lot of overtime you adjust your contributions to avoid it.

    MML Disruption 27/06/24, total signal loss at Syston

    So that's three major failures of signalling due to power failure now in two days-the latest being Newbury, and on the South West yesterday. Why is this happening with alarming regularity? During extreme weather fair enough but not the case here

    What do signallers generally do during disruption?

    Why do Three Bridges in particular have an allergy to using GSMR broadcasts to avoid those stacked calls? Can't remember the last time they used it unless it was to save them work, such as advising a signal couldn't step beyond 2 yellows.

    New trains cab ends not painted yellow.

    That all falls apart if you lose all lights as in the derailment near Grange over Sands. Had that occured during winter there would have been a train blocking the adjacent line with no lights in the dark and no yellow front. It was purely luck the signal went back to danger as a semaphore...

    Trying to buy Kings Cross to Haymarket Sat 11th May on Railstaff site.

    I'm trying to book this but the website is getting stuck as it can't put a seat reservation on the Edinburgh -Haymarket leg. How can I put the seat reservation just on the Kings Cross - Edinburgh leg (the 15.00)? Thanks
