Not sure if this is the best place to post this, but a ScotRail power car caught fire today as it was leaving the Tay Bridge on approach to Dundee. https://x.com/brackens1/status/1895429949227663648?s=46&t=ok__OkqZ7gTBweIuhUaACA (X/Twitter post with a photo showing flames coming out of the...

Last week, I used the Trainline app to buy M-tickets for Dundee-Aberdeen Off-peak Day Return, split at Stonehaven. At the time of purchase, my plan was to get the 2135 home, so that's what I selected when buying the ticket. However, the app clearly states you can use any valid train. In the end...

The thread title is obviously not unheard of but this is particularly bad. I'm currently on an LNER HST that has been jerking about at least since I boarded 40 minutes ago. It's almost as if the rear power car is randomly pushing harder than the front is pulling. Is that possible? Or could it...

I'll be travelling Dundee-Haymarket next Monday, returning on Tuesday 18th. It's a business trip, and my company has bought me an Anytime Return (£35.40). Since I've not personally paid anything up to this point, I was considering an excess to First Class on the outward leg and catching the...

After what seems like an eternity, the new concourse at Dundee finally opened to passengers today. There's a video on the local newspaper's website: https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/news/local/dundee/683692/video-new-railway-station-shows-dundees-ambition-as-a-world-city/ Functional, rather...

The north west of Scotland is expected to be worst hit, with gusts of 90mph+ expected. Other areas can expect 50-70mph. ScotRail have already pre-emptively cancelled services on several routes: West Highland, Far North, Kyle, Fife Circle, Edinburgh-Perth, Stranraer-Kilmarnock...

Three years on from the demolition of the original station (locked thread here: http://www.railforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=89981&highlight=dundee), the new concourse at Dundee is taking shape. Here's some photos I took this morning. Taken from a distance, looking down Earl Gray Place...

I don't know if Storm Gertrude is getting, er, "her" own thread, but the Highland Main Line between Perth and Inverness (amongst others) several lines in Scotland will have no service until at least 4pm tomorrow...

Just a wee bit of snow on the Highland Main Line this morning. This was Dalwhinnie (credit: Network Rail): (Picture shows a 67 with its front entirely covered by snow) There's been a handful of cancellations, and services that are running are delayed by up to half an hour, but overall it...

The RAIB report on the class investigation into 6 landslips has been released. The ones covered are: Loch Treig (the 66 that went down the embankment) Falls of Cruachan (156 hit a boulder) Rosyth (158 hit a landslip) St Bees (153 hit a landslip) Bargoed (150 hit a tree) Hatfield...

There's emergency engineering works at the Garve level crossing tonight, closing the road. Traffic Scotland Tweeted the diversion for motorists: Probably fine on a nice summer day, but overnight in the middle of winter...!

I'm planning a trip to Dumfries next month and was wanting advice on the return leg. Normally when I do this trip, I return via: 17.58 Dumfries-Carlisle 18.35 18.47 Carlisle-Glasgow Central 20.01 20.41 Glasgow QS - Dundee 22.03 Since that's what the journey planners always give...

I've got a 16-25 Railcard, bought online, that expires on 5th November. I turn 26 on 27th October. My plan had been to go to the station on the 26th and buy a new Railcard, but out of curiosity I logged into my account and it's letting me renew my existing card. Even when I go back through...

So over a year after my last thread on this (http://www.railforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=71011) and two since my first (http://www.railforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=63557), finally there's movement at Dundee. Councillors will vote next week to approve a £1.5m contract to demolish the current...

Does anyone have any further details as to why 1L58 was terminated at Kilmarnock on Saturday? RTT says "disorder", with it leaving Dumfries nearly an hour late. http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/G90554/2013/08/10/advanced As a Dundee FC fan, I'm slightly concerned that the "disorder"...

I've got a friend who's currently in Canterbury and is looking for advice about his trip home to Dundee tomorrow. Basically, he as (the return portion of) a super off-peak return that's +Any Permitted and has a reservation on the 10.00 from King's Cross to Dundee (KGX-DEE). That raised alarm...

First Arriva Night Trains Serco http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-business-23105287 When is the franchise due to start? The main article says 2015, but the caption under the (horribly generic) photo says "next year".

ScotRail Advance members can currently take advantage of an offer of £99 1st class return on the sleeper. Outward travel must be completed by 31 May, return within 1 month. Annoyingly, I'll be travelling to and from London early next month, so can't take advantage of the offer. However, is...
