Looking at BR Fares, the availability of 16-17 Saver fares in Scotland appears hit and miss, only being available between a few destination pairs. For example, fares are listed between Inverness and Kingussie, Aberdeen and Kingussie, Inverness and Aviemore but not Inverness or Aberdeen and...

I have purchased advance e-tickets for Kilmarnock to Carlisle, fare set by AWC. Obviously it is only valid on the booked AWC Glasgow to Carlisle but is it only valid on the connection from Kilmarnock to Glasgow (which isn't bookable) shown on the itinerary on the ticket? Without going into the...

The Spirit of Scotland Travelpass is quoted as having the following peak hours restriction: (Source https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/tickets-railcards-offers/promotions/spirit-of-scotland-travelpass/) The exceptions got me thinking: As there is no peak hours restriction on the Glasgow Central -...

Moderator note: Split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/devils-porridge-heritage.283517/#post-7217670 (Shameless plug) My railway, also in South West Scotland, offers Diesel driver experiences for £100 https://doonvalleyrailway.co.uk/driver-experiences The experience includes a full...

I have come across a few quirks of the ticketing system but must admit this was a new one on me. The price of an Off Peak Day return from Dumfries to Carlisle is £7.60, however the price of an Off Peak return is £19.00 substantially more than double the off peak day return price. In other words...

I have been looking up some reference information in the Scottish Sectional Appendix and noticed differences in the route clearances between subclasses 320/3 and 320/4. In some cases class 321s - of course which the class 320/4s were converted from - are different from 320/4 For example: Route...

BBC are reporting a double decker bus bridge strike in Cook Street, Glasgow https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/clyk3pyp7yno

The waiting room at Pitlochry railway station has a sign on the door "these facilities are for the use of ScotRail customers only", and within the waiting room the toilets both clearly state "for the use of ScotRail customers only". Presumably therefore LNER and Caledonian Sleeper passengers...

I must congratulate ScotRail on providing an accessible overbridge at Dumfries, however having used it this week for luggage I couldn't help noticing an oddity with the level labelling in both lifts: (Photo shows buttons for "Platform Level" and "Street Level") Now, maybe the platforms have...

Maybe I am being thick, however I am getting slightly baffled by the TfL website regarding adding (Veterans) Railcard discount to an Oyster account. My (straightforward?) question is: can I add the discount to my existing Oyster account, which is linked to my contactless card, or do I need to...

Looking for a piece of advice please. A relative is travelling from Glasgow to Tilbury, which means crossing London. He can’t walk terribly far and will have luggage. His plan is walk the short distance from Euston to Euston Square, then catch the Hammersmith & City line to West Ham and change...

Saphos trains running a tour from Ayr to Scarborough today hauled by 47712 & 47593 Does anyone know why it was delayed for 80 minutes in Kilmarnock? https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:U55320/2023-05-27/detailed#allox_id=0

(Couldn't see this posted elsewhere - apologies if it has) Looks like a nasty bridge strike in Glasgow with 10 bus passengers taken to hospital. Trains between Glasgow and Paisley (both Gilmour Street and Canal) were suspended for a few hours...

I bought return tickets for 3 of us onboard EMR this morning (I don't know the name of portable ticket system they use) and the resulting long string of card got me thinking: The tickets are printed receipt first, then each return in sequence, i.e. receipt, out, return, out, return, out, return...

I'm traveling on a "AWC & connections" advance single from Kirkconnel (between Kilmarnock & Dumfries) to Nottingham tomorrow. I have now realised that my "published" itinerary has a short (but obviously over the minimum) connection at Crewe onto 1208 EMR to Derby (then XC to Nottingham), with...

This thread got me thinking: which passenger services call at the same station more than once, excluding services which circle back to where they came (e.g. Fife Circle, Dartford loop, Wirral lines)? The only current one I can think of is Far North with Georgemas Junction. Back in the 90s...

Does anyone know what has happened to through fares to/from Glasgow Airport via Paisley Gilmour Street? Journey planners aren't listing times or fares and brfares is showing no fares from my local Ayrshire station.

Hypothetical query here. Does Delay Repay apply to Open Access Operators or just TOCs? If a journey covered both OA & TOC, would Delay Repay apply, in the same way it does for connections across TOCs? This is a hypothetical question, rather than something that has happened to me, however...
