Thanks for reminding me about the App! I got the tickets booked on the website earlier this evening but the whole process required considerable persistence.

i am looking at booking tickets from Euston to Motherwell on Sunday 20th July on the departure at 1829. The train appears to be in the timetable according to RTT. The Avanti website will not sell me tickets for this journey (or any other trains to Motherwell that afternoon) yet both ScotRail and...

If the trip to the Isle of Lewis is still being considered the video linked below might be of interest. Things are a lot busier in the Summer season!

Ah yes the Callanish Stones - older than the Great Pyramid of Giza and Stonehenge! As long as the logistics are understood and planned for, it should be a feasible enough trip.

For clarification - Stornoway is on the Isle of Lewis. To get there by public transport (without flying) the obvious route would be via Inverness as you suggest and then bus to Ullapool for the onward ferry connection. There are no ferries from Kyle of Lochalsh. If heading that way by train was...

Also - if the journey planner does not have your planned train on it then you can add it manually in the app. Taking a paper copy of the European Timetable would be a useful backup.

Looking at the drawings I can see why the restriction is what it is.

It looks like a perimeter intruder protection system found on many construction sites when high value plant and equipment is left unattended. They can be monitored in real time via 3G/4G systems and can provide warning messages, sirens, lighting etc.

The Scottish Government does have borrowing powers. A wee search of the web site will yield more information.

If the round trip via Wemyss Bay and Ardrossan includes using buses between Wemyss Bay and Largs, please be aware that many of the buses that serve this route are operated byMcGills. However, I seem to recall that Stagecoach have a half hourly 585 service which the Daytripper ticket may be valid on.

I am looking for guidance about where I can source information about locations that may be affected by engineering works this coming Christmas. I am particularly interested in the WCML. Thanks in anticipation.
