I read continuing perspectives of where we might be in early 2020 - from glass half empty or half full viewpoints.
I had a journey south on a refurb last week, and in all I felt this is progress, and a train that befits an intercity service- smooth ride, and good catering, hot food.
The concept of upgrading intercity travel in Scotland, is an important step in the right direction and re-investment in the lines Aberdeen to Inverness and HML is moving forwards. Electrification of these routes is also coming up the agenda and consideration of a longer term strategy of bi-modes. While we share frustration at the implementation of this part of the project, it is slowly coming into being, and we are in a far better place than we were than three years ago.
