No impressed with LNERS changes to the Aberdeen services. The end to end journey time gets longer and the addition of extra stops in southern England will just mean getting decent fares for stations north of edinburgh on weekends and summer will be impossible cause they will be filled up with...

Only on 1e11 (0752 Aberdeen departure) mon-sat, this means the crew can work back on 1W02 (0708 Leeds departure). Also on sundays only catering crew on 1e19 so they can assist back on 1w11 (1000 London departure). All others the crew changes are at Waverley.

Every train company is moving to the use the window seats only model to give other passengers and staff as much space as possible to move through train. You don’t like it get in your car and drive.

The reason both ends will be shut will be for when the train changes direction en route or between journeys. It will not be practical to deep clean that area on all those occasions.

It returns from tomorow all going to plan.

Last September I flew to Manchester and was also trying to get Liverpool. I knew the train, checked the platform went there, an announcement was made, a minute later the train left from the platform Across the tracks from us not the advertised one. I asked in the info centre and told it left...

If the assessments pass it will be a quick re instruction. No at seat in 1st. Tea/coffee only to start with and customers need to got kitchen to order and collect. Bar will be open for Standard with limited range.

This will be changing next week with more reductions.

LNER have had to cancel the Inverness and most Aberdeen’s due to lodge issues with the drivers (and tm on the Inverness). The emergency timetable will be updated from next week to remove all the north of Edinburgh services. Also from next week Edinburgh and Leeds services will drop to 1tp2h...

EMR have pulled all catering from trains this morning and closed all 1st lounges. Scotrail have also done the same. Guards at both companies and northern I believe have been advised to perform operational/safety critical duties only and no revenue. Before people ask source is an internal com...

Plus the Redcar site isn’t owned by British Steel. Hasn’t been since they (well Tata) sold it to SSI back in 2009. They went under a few years ago so the current sale won’t affect that station at all.

That was for a two week period while the repatriation flights were going on. This is a completely different type airline and imo it’s unreasonable to expect TOCS to carry people for free for however many months people have bought tickets for.

It has to complete it fault free running tests before it can enter service.

At certain stations it will be locked out of use. Aberdeen and Inverness for example. There is no door control panel at that door so it is to stop people running for it mid despatch and causing delayed departures.

Footrests would reduce the usable space for storing bags. And those things need every usable space going as has clearly been shown over Christmas.

That train has ran as an Azuma as booked every day since it changed last week. The only exception being the Saturdays when it’s been booked as hst.

Has been sold as an Azuma as well so total nightmare for the staff working it.

1A55 and 1E23 are both running as HSTs today vice Azuma.

If the OP is now working for EMR, based on one his posts months ago asking for competency based interview advice back in May, they are a long way off getting there Hitachi sets, plus aren’t they meant to be different I.e shorter coaches so surely the manuals will be completely different?

It was filmed in the Czech Republic.
