Incorrect - Certainly on Lewis & Harris all vehicles operating Council tendered services have been fitted with Ticketer Compact machines with contactless readers since well before Covid.
I've been using contactless to pay for all my journeys for at least 3 years now. If I remember correctly it...
The guard mentioned over the PA about having no option but to detrain at Dalgety due to the issue. Worked out well for a handful of us as the next Edinburgh boung train from Dalgety was the Tweedbank service we were planning to catch from Edinburgh.
The ECS movement from Waverley to Haymarket...
Travelling from Inverness to Galashiels today and decided to take 1B31, the 12:55 Inverness to Edinburgh service, which was a Classic set as booked.
Train cancelled at Dalgety Bay at 16:40, approx. 40 mins late due to speedo issues. Conductor stated the speedo had given up the ghost as we...
Thanks for that - I was aware of the restriction. We'd likely not be travelling from the airport until after 10am, after grabbing food and dropping luggage off etc.
Hi all,
Going on a family holiday to Orlando in May and looking for some advice on transport in/around London.
We are flying to Heathrow on Monday 6th May, arriving in at 8am. We are flying out from Gatwick on Tuesday 7th and overnighting in a hotel there.
My initial plan was to take the...
No problem.
As far as I can tell, Kestrel is just a bit of software that pulls the data from Network Rail and displays it to CS staff in an easier to read format.

I highly doubt CS...
Not sure which services you've been using, but all ScotRail services in and out of Inverness have one member of catering crew on board.
I travel Inverness - Glasgow/Edinburgh return 2-3 times a week and the only time I've seen more than one member of catering crew is during training, but...
Had one on a return trip from Inverness to Golspie last weekend and the USB sockets were all working at the seats we were sat at.
Also to note the onboard WiFi on the refurb sets now has a 'multimedia' section on the landing page, which was mentioned somewhere in the Franchise Agreement. In it...
Due to the Queen Street tunnel closure all GLQ-INV services will be departing from Central between 20th March and 8th August.
Edited to add: Also, not sure if you are aware, but Carrbridge station is around a mile from the centre of Carrbridge. If any of your party have trouble walking long...
Can confirm these tickets are still available on VTEC's website at least (see attachment).
Offer still showing on other WebTIS websites, but I was only able to actually pay and complete my booking on VTEC's site.
Adult and child return from INV - EDB for £3 - absolute bargain!
The internal gubbins for the at seat audio services were removed to permit the installation of WiFi, as with the Pendolinos, but the audio jacks and buttons were left in situ as I presume it would be too costly/unnecessary to remove or plate over them.
