Looking at tickets from Aberdeen to Pangbourne and logically it's Aberdeen to Kings Cross then tube to Paddington then onward train from Paddington. If I buy a 'super off peak return' then travel on the tube is included BUT if I were to buy an advance to Kings X and then a ticket from Paddington...

Someone earlier mentioned a similar restriction between Haymarket and Edinburgh Waverley. As someone who occasionally gets a train from Haymarket to Waverley, I wasn't aware of this but it is incredibly difficult to figure out what platform the next train to Waverley will stop at - presumably...

Surely the attitude is Scotrail have done our best to assist LNER in a time of difficulty?

Barnett's not worth the paper it's written on either. More and more frequently, London decides that something like the Olympic Games or HS2 or London Overground benefits literally everyone and so is classed as 'national' spending - there are no Barnett consequentials. The Commonwealth Games, on...

I've been abroad since May 9 and thought until now that he was sacked due to his criticising the Royal Family - it didn't even cross my mind that it was perceived as being racist.

I have donned my crash helmet and am ready to duck ... I think it's a great idea.

Would have to disagree - if I arrive in Central at 1840 on a Saturday night, I will get the 1900 XCountry which terminates at Waverley at 2000. Saves me the walk to Queen Street and is generally quieter and certainly more comfortable than any other route or train. 20 minutes well spent in The...

Why didn't you assist them?

Sort of what I thought - best just to go with return Tweedbank Dundee and return Dundee Aberdeen. Thanks

Ok, thanks, I changed deaperture times and added 99 minutes at Dundee and it gave me this: Tweedbank Edinburgh 55 mins 20:29 21:24 Edinburgh Dundee 1 hr 36 mins 22:11 23:47 Dundee (details) wait for 6 hrs, 55 mins. WARNING: LONG WAIT (info) Dundee Aberdeen 1 hr 16 mins 06:42 07:58...

I can't enter more than 99 minutes as far as I can figure out - ideally, I would want to put it 1200 minutes!?

I seem to have confused Scotrail somewhat as I have 2 answers from them - 1 saying yes, the other saying no. My inclination is that this isn't possible but I'm looking to do Friday Tweedbank to Dundee - Stay Dundee overnight Saturday Dundee to Aberdeen - Stay Aberdeen overnight Sunday Aberdeen...

Being colour blind, I can categorically state that I have no issues with traffic lights - the red, amber and green lights are easily distinguishable for me. Railway signals, on the other hand, I struggle to differentiate between red and yellow - I can't explain why.

The fly on the wall from Glasgow Central a couple of Sundays ago had an Edinburgh 156 stuck behind a Kilmarnock one. The Edinburgh one was then cancelled as it was 10 minutes late and passengers forced to get off. The train then ran as ECS to Waverley 'to catch the delayed time back'. I did...

My son got one of the refurbished units from Aberdeen to Edinburgh on Monday (when I asked him what type of train he got, he said it was grey-ish outside with push button doors so I have no reason to doubt his thoughts). The one thing he specifically mentioned was how jerky it was (as he put it)...

Apart from the seemingly incessant announcements on the class 385 units, my current pet hate in Scotland is at Edinburgh Waverley (I assume it applies to all stations served by LNER though). "The next service to depart from platform 5 is the 1307 London and North Eastern Railway service to...

Given that the train seems to have been stopped at a station and the driver had working intercom to the carriages, why not announce 'x fault has happened, we hope to get this fixed soon, I am opening the doors if you wish to wait on the platform until we can proceed or if you wish to make other...

Given the frequency with which journeys on this route are being cancelled, it's impressive that anyone has made the effort tbh.

A few pages back, a poster suggested the National Entitlement Card would not be accepted on the XP23 - to my knowledge, it is accepted on every other bus route in Scotland. I know the Edinburgh trams and Glasgow Subway restrict to their own local authority's cards - are McGill's permitted to...

It must have proven popular in Labour controlled Wales or they wouldn't be proposing to introduce it in Scotland as well. Oh wait, it's Labour.
