Also Euston services won't start until 2040, or potentially 2043! o_O https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cz6e0vplgldt

This is really stretching it, but there is a very unusual survivor on Roseburn Terrace where a gate that used to at the bottom of some steps that went up to the platforms of Murrayfield station on the left of this photo is still in in place, painted in the British Railways Scottish Region blue...

Council to buy land near reservoir as drainage site for new £18m train station https://news.stv.tv/west-central/council-to-buy-land-near-reservoir-as-drainage-site-for-new-18m-train-station

While highly unprofessional, it is a hilarious burn at Southern. :lol:

Thanks for posting that.

Absolutely. At Edinburgh you have no choice, but to walk through the World Duty Free shop after clearing security!

Fantastic to see another station opening on the network.

This is what I was thinking. There was a Gareth Dennis video I watched a year or two ago that briefly discussed this and there was a suggestion, that they could put something on the doors, such like when Abellio operated ScotRail.

Forgive me if there is an existing thread that this post should be posted in, but there are so many GBR threads I wasn't sure which one to put post it in! No mention about branding, but I understand the ScotRail is keeping its livery. I do wonder if they'll slap on the Double Arrow logo...

Just before departing an early evening service from Glasgow Queen Street to Waverley on Saturday, the guard got on the intercom and said in a stern manner "DON'T BE SICK ON MY TRAIN!" I'm guessing that he must have seen someone look in a bit of a rough state board the train. Thankfully there...

No details about how this rail link would like. With this announcement, you'd almost thing there was an upcoming election. :lol: https://news.stv.tv/west-central/scottish-labour-would-build-glasgow-airport-rail-link

I wonder if these stations would be more likely to be built at the same time as when the electrification programme reaches Aberdeen? Also, would these new stations require additional capacity at Aberdeen station? I know there was some talk a few years ago to potentially bring back disused...

I thought folk might be interested to know that the Royal Mail are releasing some Hornby Model Railways commemorative stamps collection on 19th Feb. Although you can pre-order now. https://shop.royalmail.com/special-stamp-issues/hornby-model-railways

You can see some of the electrification works by the runway at Edinburgh Airport in YouTuber Steve Marsh's video that he took in December. If the link below doesn't go directly to the right timestamp. It's at 20m57s.

I guess unless it is legally binding that the council have to spend the money on what it was allocated for, I guess there is no recourse. Cynically perhaps that was their plan all along and the idea of moving the station etc. was all smoke and mirrors to appease the locals from not getting angry...

I had to double check it wasn't the 1st of April!

Perhaps they shouldn't have used AI! :lol: https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/25820377.scotrail-uses-fascist-logo-image-new-train/ ScotRail uses 'fascist' logo in image of new train

I doubt that will happen in our lifetimes! Most new housing development for the city is being built in East Lothian, Midlothian and West Lothian these days.

There are plans to build a road from Gogar Roadabout to the airport in the next few years. There are even more ambitious plans for a direct link and a new junction at the M8 in the longterm. I'm not sure we'll see this happen in the next decade (if at all). 1770046735 That is a shame. It's...

I've often heard/read this statement that the Scottish Parliament has refocused things towards Edinburgh rather than Glasgow. The Scottish Office was based in Edinburgh pre-devolution (of course the decisions were made down at Dover House), but the point is that I haven't seen any real evidence...
