They run electric to Haymarket at the moment so they won't be trained on diesel only.

Do the same pool of drivers cover Edinburgh-Aberdeen and Edinburgh-Inverness? The Highland Chieftain is electric as far as Dunblane, no?

I assume they switch drivers at Waverly? If they do then they will know electric too since they swap to diesel at Haymarket.

Will LNER take advantage for a few miles given its drivers on this leg are probably trained on diesel only operation?

depends if any Automatic Power Change Over equipment (like between Bridge of Allan and Dunblane) is installed as part of the work
