Dundee to Newcastle LNER Query

If it was recently then it could've been a Glasgow Central or Stirling service - assuming that the latter has restarted?

Or Inverness route? (just suggested that below/above)

Well, @route101 did say it wasn't around the time the Chieftain should have been through.

Was last week around 1230. Perhaps it was late running chieftain.

I don't know the train routes off by hand, I just knew there was another area that LNER cover from this part of Scotland.

It seems for now in Haymarket they'll be more Azumas there than anywhere else par Inverness/Glasgow Central route, I remember last year I was on an Intercity train that ran late from Aberdeen and it caused confusion at Waverley (possibly lack of announcements) and things just about kicked off as passengers (well some) we're telling others to move from their seat (own experience I booked a seat just about got hassled to move but no one had explained what happened lucky enough fellow passenger assisted me to explain what happened). The only time I have had a bad experience with LNER.

Don't understand why Haymarket would get more azuma s?

Aberdeen, Inverness and sole Glasgow service pass through Haymarket.

That time you speak of is the one from Aberdeen, it departs Dundee at 1108 (its usually a train I get usually to head to Newcastle)

That's most likely, the southbound Glasgow Central is an early morning service.

I'm a bit familar with some connections as you state.

Not last week it wasn't. The line to Aberdeen would've been closed.

I understand that hence I said where it would have came from originally it leaves Dundee at about 1108 and gets to Edinburgh about 1230 or just after, as line is closed from Aberdeen I guess the Azuma's are elsewhere that I don't know nothing about.

Yet what has this thread been about since the line is closed from Aberdeen...

That's what I thought , it couldn't be Aberdeen.

I take it that the reason LNER and XC are not currently going through to Dundee is because there would be too many trains turning there, given tat the ScotRail trains are?

On a semi-related note, the reduction in trains needed while the line up to Aberdeen is closed should mean all Dundee - Edinburgh / Glasgow services could be worked by refurbished 125s.

Pretty much, yes.

They could be, but the stoppers are still 158s as far as I've seen.
