New update to the app has been rolled out, they've finally worked out how to do an earlier/later function instead of having to go back and alter times.

It's come through eventually, and I've managed to buy a ticket. My main annoyance now is that you can't easily click to see earlier/later trains when searching for a train, you have to go back and change the search time it seems.

Well, I've downloaded the app, and tried the password reset as instructed. No response with a link for password reset (I have of course checked my spam folder).

Thanks for this detailed report, it is much appreciated!

Thanks for posting that here, I really enjoyed reading your reviews of all the Calmac vessels you've been on this past week - given the issues at the moment you did well to get so much done!

Is there an election coming by any chance? :D

Having now heard it in the flesh, it's certainly an improvement over the fully AI voice, which I found totally grating. The new voice obviously sounds disjointed due to the way the sentences are formed, but she is perfectly clear to me. I would agree that the original Fletcher Matthew's voice...

As far as I'm managing to follow this, I think the status of the cases is: 1. Owners of Station Cottage civil case against Network Rail claiming they own the station: owners failed to show up and case dismissed 2. Owners of Station Cottage attempt to secure a private prosecution against the...

Yes, the recent Small Vessel Replacement work (7 smaller ships to replace the Loch class) would have been a better option for a direct award, but that was awarded to Gdansk. Steady work for several years with the ability to streamline the process over time. The LotI replacement this proposal is...

Looks like there is a passenger charter vessels operating in addition to Loch Bhrusda, which is the normal situation when Lochnevis is away for overhaul.

More discussion this here btw: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/scotrail-suburban-fleet-emu-and-bemu-market-engagement.289261/

As a resident of Paisley I can confirm this is pretty normal. Obviously Paisley Gilmour Street gets shortened to Gilmour Street when talking with locals, but that's just obviously the same pattern as for lots of places.

Latest update on MV Caledonian Isles is that CalMac are not now planning for her to be available until at least 7th September: https://www.calmac.co.uk/en-gb/travel/latest-customer-updates/customer-update-arran-services/#/ Means that once Alfred returns from service the main Arran service...

Caledonian Isle has returned to dock in Greenock as the issue have still not been resolved. So there will have to be a mass rotation of vessels next week to cover essential maintenance on the Alfred: Isle of Mull moves to the South Uist run leaving the main Mull route with just the two smaller...

MV Isle of Mull is now returning from Greenock having had her evacuation system upgraded, and is due to resume service on the Oban-Craignure route on Monday. That'll be a huge relief to everyone on Mull as the two small vessels have been really struggling to cope with demand.

In fairness I think this was only ever stated to be the most likely option rather than a firm decision. IoL is too large to be used on most routes, and can't carry certain cargoes due to her enclosed deck. However I agree that given the issues with Caley Isles and Isle of Mull, it probably does...

The 2025 Programme for Government includes the scrapping of the ban, finally! https://www.gov.scot/publications/programme-government-2025-26/pages/5/

I suppose the law would aslo consider that external comments could influence witnesses and affect their statements in court, so it makes sense that the same law would apply regardless of whether the case is being decided by a sheriff or a jury.

I've seen on the ScotRail website that the Class 153 "Highland Explorer" units will this year be used on the WHL route through to Fort William as well as Oban, following work to extend platforms on the route...
