Scottish Transport Minister Jenny Gilruth has announced that the current Serco sleeper contract will be terminated on 25/06/2023 and that work is underway to determine how services can continue to be delivered after that date:-...

Southbound only, though there'd be a similar number of Northbound equivalents. Also only included intermodal services - would be a longer list if all Anglo-Scottish freight was being discussed. The Grangemouth trip workings can have containers on them but it's mostly a loco / wagon positioning...

Not anymore unfortunately - 4L89 stopped running from Scotland a few months ago and was replaced by 4M80. 4L89 still runs but now starts from Crewe Basford Hall.

I work it out as up to 14 on a week day. There are paths for more but the below are those that run fairly regularly. If anyone thinks of more feel free to add: 4E69 Elderslie - Tees Dock (GBRf) 4M35 Mossend- Seaforth (DB) 4E04 Mossend - Doncaster (GBRf) 4M25 Mossend - Daventry (DB) 4M48 Mossend...

Nope - separate adhoc flow for Tarmac.

The path has been amended to run from Ravenstruther to Carlisle Yard instead which makes more sense - fairly confident it's fresh ballast from Cloburn Quarry being moved to top up the virtual quarry there. Wouldn't be surprised if Pinnox was left as the destination in error as the loco / wagons...

They handle contaminated ballast amongst other things - see this Environment Agency permit relating to the site: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/619402/Permit.pdf

Someone was able to film and upload a video of the Barrhead route from the cab of 230001 Yesterday (11/11/2021). While not entirely focused on electrification it's a gives a good idea of current progress. Useful timestamps as follows: 06:35 - Barrhead / EK route breaks away from Cathcart Lines...

As predicted it was running off the overheads on its first run around the circle this morning. Video of it arriving at Glasgow this morning was posted by Porterbrook: https://twitter.com/PorterbrookRail/status/1456211511341428739?t=Id6pfI2nbstrJh4CUsOc6w&s=19

East Lothian Council have granted planning consent for the new station for East Linton. Network Rail have posted a press release: https://www.networkrailmediacentre.co.uk/news/east-linton-planning Link to the planning documents...

Received a text and email this morning to advise that the Glasgow portion of the lowlander will be terminating at and starting from Edinburgh between 29/08 and 03/09 due to continued staff absence. The service disruption page has been updated to reflect...

You need to click on the routes you want to view in the Timetables area (https://www.scotrail.co.uk/timetable-routes) and there will be a blue box at the bottom of each section (e.g. West of Scotland). It's not as easy to locate as it should be and restricts you to commenting on that route...

Believed that it will start up in the near future. Planned to run 6 days per week. Depends where you are and the time of year, but the Southbound times aren't too bad: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:H03711/2021-08-09/detailed My understanding is that the Mossend service will...

This has now been approved.

There's plenty of info about them in this thread in the Traction & Rolling Stock section of the forum: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/5x-class-153-conversion-to-bike-and-baggage-vans-for-scotrail.159376/page-53

There was an image posted on Twitter today showing Inter7City on the departure boards at Inverness underneath services to Aberdeen and Glasgow - have posted it below alongside a link to the original tweet: https://twitter.com/CallumGreenINV/status/1404815687223328776?s=20

Transport Minister Graeme Dey has spoken about this project during a visit to Leven. He has confirmed that the line will be double tracked and electrified. He also confirmed the locations of Cameron Bridge (East of the A915) and Leven (behind the leisure centre) stations. Full press release...

153373 and 153380 are out on a few runs between Anniesland and Queen Street this afternoon: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/search/detailed/gb-nr:ANL/2021-06-07/0000-2359?stp=S&show=all&order=wtt

I used this Yesterday from Euston to Glasgow and I was fairly content with it. In my view the £30 wasn't too much to pay for an upgrade from a standard airline seat with no window to a larger table seat + plug + window - definitely made that length of journey a lot more comfortable. The...

Was thinking the same. It would complement the other developments in that area nicely (the new student tower on the opposite corner, repurposing of the Met Tower and changes to George Square)
