    Avanti West Coast seat selector

    The fare I used was online-only but the main problem is that my local staffed station is some distance away and only open part time, so a bit of a pain to access... are they likely to be help with this? I had assumed that they would just have access to the Scotrail booking system that doesn't...

    Avanti West Coast seat selector

    Hi, I'm struggling with Avanti, too. At least I think that's where the problem lies! If anyone can advise how best to do/book the following journey, I'd appreciate it! I'm aiming to travel from Dunblane to London for the day: journey is seated sleeper (roughing it, I know but, happily...

    Scotrail Class 385 Discussion

    0629 today a 385, has typically been a 365 over the last few weeks. I'm wondering if the reason for cutting the number of stops on this service is to allow extra time for announcements. Sonya is very talkative. Edit: 385114, 4-car set. Cheers, W.

    Scotrail Class 385 Discussion

    Indeed- The two fast services were significant improvements when they were first introduced. The morning one, in particular, seemed to benefit from priority at Winchburgh junction (?), where many services would have to wait for a Glasgow/Edinburgh service to pass. Many commuters have had to...

    Scottish Electrification updates & discussion

    Yes, apologies.. I wasn't clear: The RTT lookup I posted was from me trying to find what the timetable might look like after the May update- when it's listed as a 385, as you suggest, with the timings I posted... faster and with a reduced wait in Stirling. I've used the service several times...

    Scottish Electrification updates & discussion

    If I read RTT correctly, there is a 1719 departure from Waverley proposed that is listed as a 385 and splits at Stirling: It arrives 1801 and continues to Dunblane, leaving Stirling (platform 6) at 1805 and arriving there at 1815. There's another 385 service leaves from Platform 6 at 1809 for...

    ScotRail's December 2018 timetable change

    Publicity and hype of this Scotland's best ever railway: https://www.tactran.gov.uk/cms-assets/2018%2009%2025%20Item%205%20ScotRail%20Presentation.pdf Note page nine states: Explain the benefits – A minority of journeys are poorer under the new timetable structure  Dunblane express...

    ScotRail December 2018 Timetable change

    Not seen a timetable as such. The information is in the online National Rail journeyplanner and you can extract portions into PDFs. Did that earlier for the return journey, which is almost as bad- no express service and a change required at Stirling to avoid a long wait on the only service that...

    ScotRail December 2018 Timetable change

    Hi, New to this, so I apologise in advance if I've not seen something fundamental! Looking at the new timetable from December, it seems that the commuter services from Dunblane are significantly poorer than they are currently: the "express" service leaving 0723 and taking 52 minutes to...
