The last new unit I was on, the driver was making manual announcements (as historically undertaken). The screen reverts to something like "Announcement in progress".

There was a new unit in service last night around 21:00 on the inner circle. It was nice to see one out so late, although the white is beginning to already get a little filthy!

Can you clarify EXACTLY what you are asking for? I'm wondering if there are issues with terminology in play here? Is it just your girlfriend travelling? If so, she should be asking for a room supplement as she already holds a ticket between Paddington and Par.

Is it worth looking now? ScotRail have released advances until Fri, 26th July 2024.

It is great resource. I continue to buy the printed versions to support the business and I would like to see it continue, at least in electronic format, if not printed format. I think the move to the different printer was perhaps a bit of a challenge, the quality control isn't the same as...

Thanks for the information about the ODR process. I will keep that in mind for my trip this year.

Agreed. I had a poor experience with their support agents on a similar matter - even after escalating it. I was getting the feeling that they were making up things as they went. The cost of my time dealing with them started to outweigh the financial costs, therefore I just dropped it.

I hold SNCF's TVMs as some of the best out there and even with the AZERTY keyboard layout, I find that I am able to use this much quicker than ABCDEF format.

Maybe I have just been unfortunate with timings. They've all been week days at very mixed times morning, afternoon and early evening. However, the news of them running from the start of service is good! I wonder if the increased number of units in the depot is causing issues with exterior...

They don't seem to be in a rush to introduce these new units. Many of my trips recently have just been the older stock.

It would be great if anyone in France can test this, as a previous thread highlighted that it was not possible.

Remember that Scotrail don't do eTickets, only mTickets, smart card or collection on departure. It would be useful if the OP could provide some more detail to allow us to help.

That is such a shame. The SNCF ticket machines were actually excellent for making Interrail reservations. :-(

Do you mean your return journey or a completely separate trip?

Is anyone able to verify this? I've used the machines frequently and they worked well. This would be a huge disappointment if it was a new development.
