Was in Edinburgh last night & saw a group of some 200-300 people gather for a train to Berwick. Then turned up a little 4car bus & i laughed as it went, seeing all the passengers crammed in like sardines.
Which train are you referring to? This might not be a matter of choice of stock but frequency of services.
I've often remarked before, I think it is poor that there are only 2 trains going south from Edinburgh after 6:40pm.
The 19:00 EC to London and the 21:00 EC to York.
And that's the lot!
No good for a night out in Edin if you live near Dunbar.
The last XC services South from Edin are just after 5pm and 6pm.
. . . . a 253 capacity train is probably about the right size for "200-300" people on a short journey where a lot will get off at the first stop, yes?
and that's another of my gripes - the
only other stop before Berwick on the 19:00 and 21:00 is Dunbar (half way to Berwick)
The XC services also only have the one stop at Dunbar before Berwick.
Or did you mean NORTH Berwick? That
is served by short trains, and enjoys a staggering three trains to N.Berwick after 6:40pm (tho the latest is still too early for getting home after a show, leaving at 9:40pm)
