All services between Glasgow/Edinburgh and Manchester Airport via the West Coast have ‘West Coast Kitchen’, that includes the 802 ones.

I wonder if due to the short journey time these services won’t have catering at all. No First Class menu comes up when I try to book a First Class advance via the LNER app. I’d imagine if there is any catering it’ll be sandwiches and cold drinks only in First Class, because by the time they get...

Surely Tweedbank would be a case for electrification within the next ten years or so. Personally, I think it should’ve been wired from the start, they should potentially do the Maryhill line to try and oust more DMUs from suburban work in Glasgow.

Just seen an X19 go past in Corstorphine heading out of the city, looked to have a very healthy load on it. Behind that was an X38 promoting the £1 Single Fare within Edinburgh. It’s good that Edinburgh to Newbridge now has 4 Lothian buses an hour instead of two, but I wonder if combined with...

I’ve not been paying much attention to this recently, but the last couple days have really made me scared and particularly stressed out, especially since the threat seems much more serious than before. Is there any way of coping or any way this could just be sabre rattling? Because right now it...

Cheese and Mushroom I believe. I remember it was at the same time they done the Waffles (which im very surprised haven’t come back!)

Seconded. It’s scary.

Just seen 1W20 (1400 ex King’s Cross at Haymarket), a slight 149 minutes late!

https://www.ardrossanherald.com/news/24708928.emergency-crews-responding-bus-fire-stevenston/ Looks like it was 10925 (SN67 XAT) involved. Thankfully nobody was hurt.

This isn’t looking good for Harris. At all.

Good news if it does, the only concern I noticed was that it allowed me to reserve a Standard Premium seat in the Standard part of Coach H. Hopefully that gets rectified because if someone gets assigned a Standard seat with an SP ticket it’ll cause some complaints.

Will the Class 807s have Standard Premium? Just making a dummy booking for the 07:21 using Avanti’s website and its assigned me a seat in the First Class section in Coach H (the Half Standard/First coach). Weirdly I can also pick any of the Standard Class seats available in Coach H. Maybe an...

Carriage D is unreserved on all trains. However at busier periods the higher numbers of Coach D can and will be used for reservations as well, akin to Coach C on LNER.

I really wonder how this is going to end, it really doesn’t show any signs of slowing down.

I think some trolleys being on the Edinburgh to Glasgow is because of the temporary timetable, a fair chunk of the Aberdeen services are missing from Glasgow Queen Street. One of the Oban services are missing too, so I’d imagine it keeps them from sitting around on spare all day. I have seen...

I think it would be nice having them as a 7 car. One thing they’d need for sure is some more First Class, even if it’s just half a carriage worth (like Coach K on the Azuma fleet which is Half standard, half first). Pair that with an extra Standard class coach and it’d be perfect. First Class...

I believe Carlisle is the main service centre on the way down as it’s where all the top ups usually happen. Glasgow does have one but I’m not sure if they stock hot food (Edinburgh does). I believe it’s only the Glasgow trains in the morning (0452, 0711 and 0745) that have no hot food until...

Looks like things may be picking up, 1S90 is now on the move, 311L. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:C31769/2024-09-09/detailed Estimated arrival into Glasgow is 0316. Surely this must be an indication that the line is due to reopen soon?

Looks like trains seem to be moving forward extremely slowly, likely awaiting events with 1S69. 9S80 (1440 Euston to Edinburgh) is still sat at Carlisle, almost 5 hours late (original departure 1951). 1S78 (1530 Euston to Glasgow) is also bordering on 5 hours late while sat at Lockerbie, with...

Done the 5:40 ex Edinburgh the other day with an incredible crew. Menus and placemats placed promptly before departure, with food orders being taken just as we pulled out of the platform along with the first drinks run (due to it being a breakfast train they combined hot and cold drinks). My...
