With the new proposed services for TPE in Scotland on the East Coast Mainline starting in 2019, will there still be a need for XC services in Scotland in their new franchise?
I may be over thinking it but it seems that the Scottish Leg of the ECML South of Edinburgh may be getting a bit busy...
Is anyone aware if any plans to resignal Perth Station? I had a look around the station the other day and the signalling seems quite complicated esp in platforms 3&4.
I spoke with station staff that mentioned there are plans to build an HST stabling facility at the South as the sets will not be...
Watched this one with interest, looks like Scottish government have overruled the local council on this one.
Well needed positive development for freight in Scotland imo...
Am I right in saying that FLIM still use Class 86s on their Anglo Scottish flows?
Do they also use Class 66 and 70s, I would have thought 86s were on their last legs surely for that level of mileage :o
GBRf have posted on their Facebook page that they have ordered another 5 locos (power packs already in UK, crafty)
They must be gearing up for new contract wins with amount of new locos they have in the company
Can I ask why DRS use class 37s in their nuclear work instead of 66s?
Is it technical reasons or just that they don't currently have the stock?( until 68/88 are in full regular service)
I've been asked by a colleague if anyone can advise on what routes Scotrail Inverness sign, shift times etc is it a good depit as she wants to relocate North..
Any advice will be gratefully passed on
Drivers I am enquiring about
Apologies mods if you think this should go into Rolling stock but there is a bit of everything here..
Don't know if this has been discussed but I believe GWML is due to get the new trains first but there seems to be delays and spiralling costs already with electrification and uncertainty...
Today's rail magazine has mentioned that HSTs being replaced by IEP are being considered by other franchise bidders including Scotrail! Presumably for Aberdeen/Inverness - Edinburgh/Glasgow
Thoughts?
With 4 TPH and two of those going via Parkway from Bristol Temple Meads to Paddington will there still be a need for Swansea and Cardiff services to stop at Parkway?
