    Interail 4 days within 1 month Global Pass (1st Class)

    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.

    LNER Apple Wallet issue

    I have had a similar issue. The LNER tickets appear in the Apple Wallet ok but I get notifications on my lock screen the day after linking to the tickets already used the previous day.

    Matt's All line rover trip report

    The stand on the left thing on the escalator at Glasgow Central has appeared relatively recently. I cannot fathom out why it has been changed from I would perceive to be the norm.

    Caledonian Sleeper

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

    What is this

    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.

    Question about Strathclyde Tickets

    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.

    Christmas Engineering Work 2017

    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.

    Scotrail Smartcards

    I see this as being a way to add yet more complexity to ticketing. The ScotRail website states that they are only valid on their trains. So if you were travelling from say Motherwell to Glasgow you would not be able to use Cross Country or Virgin services with the Smartcard but you would if you...

    FGW spectacularly incompetent at Bristol Temple Meads today

    There are a few things which perturb me about this particular happening. The fact that the person responsible for making the arrangement to swap trains did not "follow through" by advising the platform staff and making appropriate arrangements. It seems that staff within the industry...

    failed 92 on 1S25! (14/04/15)

    I have seen it reported in another place that a Kings Cross to Leeds train got stuck in a neutral section. This was the possible culprit.

    failed 92 on 1S25! (14/04/15)

    There was a tweet this morning from Caledonian Sleeper that the Euston to Inverness train was delayed by a broken down train and would be 80 minutes late. As it transpired this was a wildly optimistic estimate!

    Queue Waiting.

    Passenger Focus have a section about this issue on their website. They confirm the advice given by previous posters but include the information that TOCs must make reasonable endeavours to meet maximum queuing times of 5 mins peak and 3 mins off peak.

    Unexplained WCML delays

    There was a fire close to Polmadie Depot the other day which resulted in train sets being stabled in odd locations like Mossend Yard and the platforms at Edinburgh Waverley. This may have had a knock on effect on the normal provision of units / diagrams etc.

    What happenened on the Paisley Canal line tonight

    My assumption is that the use of the emergency chord was construed as vandalism.

    Proactive Scotrail Guards

    It is my understanding that SPT tickets are indeed valid on any trains operating withing the SPT area. This includes Virgin, Cross Country and TPE. I travel on these trains regularly with a zone card between Glasgow Central and Motherwell. There were apparently some Virgin train managers in...
