thanks for replies perfectly pleasant journey in both directions

As much as I criticise Scotrail and Network Rail for appalling capacity management and line management on this line, I will very rarely criticise the brave men and women who operate as TE's on the ayrshire lines. The amount of human detritus that frequents these lines is a sight to behold, a...

thanks all, very helpful !

cheers , 2 units or 4 ?

Travelling as per above on 23rd May, anyone any ideas what rolling stock/formation will be used, am concerned train will be tiny as my wife has health issues and as we were not able to book a seat I want to prepare myself

Interesting reading, the "true" numbers resonate with me ,I am regularly delayed by 3,4,5,6 minutes on journeys from Renfrewshire to Ayrshire, usually with zero explanation ( for a 30 min journey) http://www.networkrail.co.uk/about/performance/

Being a frugal Scotsman I have a ticket for Friday part of which is advance from Edinburgh EDB to york with EC, the other is the glasgow to edinburgh piece. Can I assume I can board the XC train from central that goes to Edinburgh EDB and use the ticket or do I have to use it on Scotrail , ie...

Classic neo prohibition from our totalitarian government. I feel for Scotrail staff who will be putting themselves at risk to try and enforce this, it is however unenforceable. There is a particularly phenonmen in the west coast of Scotland when the sun comes out. Hordes of knuckledragging ...

In the last few weeks at Johnstone station there have been multiple Scotrail staff on each side of the station checking tickets, with the draconian measure of having the gate locked on one side of the station. I have to question the logic of this, there are barrier checks at Paisley most days...

as far as i am aware they are paid commission on ticket sales on the train

Going to grand national on saturday from Liverpool Central, when does it start to get busy , anyone been , ie what time would be best to travel Also do the trains have loos ? ( beer seal etc) :oops:

Piffle, very similar thing happened to Richard Bacon on Virgin a few weeks ago, he paid the ticket, as I did when I lost a portion of it and did not behave in this manner. The fact he is a student is irrelevant, he is a foul mouthed arrogant disrespectful youth that unfortunately is becoming...

I have noticed since the introduction of the 380's that they now seem to stop right at the end of the platforms (even if its a 4 car unit) so making punters walk the length of the platform out of the shelters etc. Irvine station a good example. I cannot fathom why this is done other than...

that train went through johnstone station around 3 ish

If I put a route search into the Virgin trains site for travel at mid day 4th Nov Glasgow to Coventry there appears to be a direct train, yet it is not listed on national rail , nor does it appear on the Virgin timetable, am I missing something ?

Was coming home from Ayr around 3 yesterday, and the Royal Scotsman was on the adjacent platform, no one seemed to be on it, wondered where is was going etc. Looked great especially the dining car

I use this line a lot, maybe its just me but over last 3-4 weeks there have been multiple signal failures on this line, this cannot be "normal" ?
