Moderator note: Split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/222-contract-for-scotrail-announced.299990/ Sadly, the removal of the buffet counter speaks volumes about Scotrail's attitude as to what sort of offerings are suitable for longer distance travellers. I'm probably not the only one...

I can't be the only person with a few loose ends after having to replace an old Windows 10 PC (actually an old Windows 8 PC with Windows 10 sitting on top). Most things I used to be able to do are now up and running but sadly not my old versions of Adobe Photoshop Elements 14 and Premiere...

Sorry I can't offer much here. Am with numerous others not being allowed to leave Morrisons at Inverness at 1040, Police are outside saying that there is a Hazardous Material Incident at the station which is close by. Obviously neither accurate nor appropriate to repeat any hearsay but...

An article on the BBC News website reports that charges are to be introduced for the use of electric vehicle charging points at Scotrail stations. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-67748404 I'm probably missing something here, but I can't help wondering why they have been free in the...

Travelled from Inverness to Edinburgh today via Aberdeen. Got a reasonable priced Advance 1st (and avoided the crowds on the 1046 from Inverness). Re the on train catering. 1A14, 1056 Inverness - Aberdeen: There wasn't any. 1B84, 1356 Aberdeen - Edinburgh: No Trolley, but a generous tray of...

An article on the BBC News website titled "Scotrail says it pays not to take on of its trains" reports on the regular overcrowding on the 1B26 1051 Inverness - Edinburgh service, and the Scotrail Tweet plugging the availability of Advance tickets on two earlier services South from Inverness, the...

Interesting to read on the BBC News Website this morning that one new proposal for HS2 is to connect from East Midlands Parkway to the ECML at Newark. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-61274952 Other than extending the HS2 services towards the Northeast avoiding the need to...

Another case of stupidity in taking photos at a footpath crossing a line has appeared on the BBC News website this morning. I doesn't seem long ago that we saw a report of someone taking wedding photos at a level crossing. This is something different: Full Report at...

Interested to read that GWR had renamed IET 800025 "Captain Sir Tom Moore", and also included his medal ribbons as part of the well deserved tribute. https://www.gwr.com/about-us/media-centre/news/2020/december/great-western-railway-wish-captain-tom-happy-christmas-by-knighting-his-train That...

Seeing reports that the statistics showing the most and least used stations for 2019-20 have been issued today by the ORR I had a quick look at the link to the report, at: https://dataportal.orr.gov.uk/statistics/usage/estimates-of-station-usage The least used being Berney Arms, with 42 entries...

I've really no idea how they managed this. The BBC report has a helpful caption stating that "Cars are being diverted around the train at Stirling Station". The mind boggles! Full report at: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-tayside-central-54523213
