? It’s £1.80 for a single journey no matter distance and capped at £4.50 if you use Apple Pay/Contactless or buy a day ticket for multiple journeys. Only issue for me is lack of a 60/75 minute single ticket for connecting journeys but, like the airport discussion, irrelevant to the present and...

I had a look around Waverley for those "key views" to the Firth of Forth. The only time I could see anything of the Forth was at the top of Market Street at The Mound. If you look closely enough at image 003 you can see the Bass Rock but raising the roof shouldn't do anything to block that out...

Your seagull took a trip on your behalf to remind them?

Confirmation from Network Rail. https://twitter.com/NetworkRailGQS/status/1294240130321047553

I must be missing something as well as I think the only place at street level you can really see the Forth and the Waverley roof is from North Bridge! The image shown in the article looks like an elevated view from Jeffrey Street and you can't see the Forth from that angle because of all the...

Network Rail tweeted this image of Dundas Lane this morning. Looking good! https://twitter.com/NetworkRailGQS/status/1291642231497953281

Yes that is very interesting. Hopefully that means a solution to the Calton tunnels is in place for all those trains to be able to use the platforms. Also interesting that current platform 18 is the new plan for an additional through platform on the northern part of the station. What benefits...

Well this looks interesting. Things to welcome: Waverley Bridge - the image of it being pedestrianised with easy access looks good. Also opens up some views of Balmoral Hotel with existing walls no longer needed. Market Street looks a lot more open and welcoming. Plenty of opportunities for...

Ambitious and very welcome. Also interesting to see what looks like the Edinburgh South Sub and the immediate are east of Winchburgh Junction in red. Almond Chord possibilities?

Thanks @InOban. Here at the rest of the pics from Morningside to Craiglockhart plus one of the bridges at Cameron Toll.

So Network Rail is keen to electrify the Sub but Transport Scotland is reluctant to pay for it? I had a walk along the route of the Sub earlier this week and I agree with @InOban. Unfortunately, I can't see the current nice bridge on Braid Avenue surviving although I was surprised by how low...

I thought so but good to have it confirmed. Thanks.

I was out for a walk the other day and took these photos of the bridges on Peffermill Road and Duddingston Road West. To my untrained eye they look ok for electrification but the work on these bridges was done a while ago so I appreciate further clearance may be required.

When passing through Waverley I've regularly seen North Berwicks as 6 car.

With the decarbonisation strategy coming soon would the Scottish Government be keen for an expensive non-electrified extension of a (mostly) non-electrified line?

Not yet. Hopefully soon though. Although not to London. :lol:

Thanks for the explanation. It certainly explains why all the TPE 802s I've seen at Edinburgh Waverley have been on diesel. Disappointing but understandable and hopefully temporary.

I travelled on my first Azuma last week from London to Edinburgh. My overall impressions were good. I was in 1st class and seat comfort was fine. I didn't find the seats overly firm and may actually have helped with posture. Also no slipping around the seats as happened on the HSTs and Mark...

Here you go.

Another excellent update @PaxVobiscum. Looking forward to seeing update 47.
