Went in to Aberdeen at lunch time and all services running as normal. Now all local services between Aberdeen and Inverurie and Montrose are cancelled until 8pm leaving huge gaps and lots of people with no trains. The weather situation has been known about for a couple of days, so why wait...

Been an ongoing issue for years now with offshore workers leaving their cars at Dyce station then getting a shuttle but to heliports. Effect of this is that there are hardly ever any spaces for commuters to use since Dyce is about 6 miles from Aberdeen. Scotrail aren't interested and keep...

Trains cancelled between Aberdeen and Dyce today as a body was found on a roundabout. I can understand closing the road but the rail line is behind a fence and everything is in a forensic tent. People going past on a train would see very little so why cancel trains on a busy line for an...

We've booked LNER Aberdeen to London on Monday 12th September returning Saturday 17th September. Are we going to be able to travel there and back without being caught up in strike action? Wife doesn't want to book any restaurants, attractions etc in case we can't go (understandably) but what...

Posted on Twitter earlier today: Twitter post This was pretty much a given now that SG are in charge. Some interesting replies.

07.03 from Inverness to Aberdeen today had two 158s on the front and three 170s behind. When I saw it was 5 cars I assumed HST but it wasn't. Is it a usual occurrence to mix different classes on the same set as I've never seen that before?

Thought there would have been a thread on this already but I can't find one. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-61468006 Link to BBC article discussing the driver shortage, industrial action and a possible cut to services.

This topic was sort of being discussed in another thread that has been closed by the moderators. Given A2I is now complete, what's everyone else's thoughts on improvements in the North East? Politicians have been coming up with the same old drivel lately relating to Aberdeen Crossrail, Dyce to...

Noticed this a few times lately. Train is running late but it shows as arrived at the final destination even when it's still nowhere near. Are they cooking the books or is it a fault with the app? If someone is getting picked up it's impossible to tell when the train will arrive as it...

Saw this picture of what (I think) could be a class 37 working in Scotland. Anyone have any ideas? Didn't think anything so old was still working up here ........

Station is currently being refurbished (seems to have been going on forever) and for a while now the temporary information screens haven't been working properly. For a long time they were only displaying trains due an hour later, but recently they've been completely switched off. You would...

As usual seen Scotrail tweeting services will be finished early tonight. OK, it's different circumstances this year but it happens every hogmanay. As a public service, you would expect railways to work when the public need them, and traditionally hogmanay is a busy night with people heading to...

Went for the 16:26 Aberdeen to Inverurie service. Struggling to get to the carraige due to mobility issues which as usual was parked quite a distance from the barriers. Conductor barked at me "you'd better hurry up as you're going to miss the train" so I got on at the end of a class 158. Sat...

Just wondered, fastest they run on my local line (Dyce to Aberdeen) is 75mph.... and that's only for probably 3 or 4 miles. Seems such a waste.

Booked return tickets from Dyce to Edinburgh next week through the Scotrail app. Dyce to Aberdeen is on a Scotrail service as normal, but the outbound and return legs to Edinburgh are with LNER. I'm surprised at this as booking with Scotrail I would have expected them to put me on one of...

Specifically looking at Aberdeen to Dyce. Inward to Aberdeen the tain travels at 70 then slows down to 40 a couple of miles out for no apparent reason then 30 about a mile from the station. Same coming back to Dyce .... it slows down to 30 quite a bit away from the station. I get why there are...

The Inverness to Aberdeen service arriving at 13:07 is generally late, meaning customers getting the 13:13 "connecting" service to Edinburgh sometimes miss it meaning a 50 minute wait. Even sillier is that the incoming late service is held at Bedford waiting for the outgoing service taking...

Another railway meltdown tonight leaving many stranded. We were unable to secure replacement buses. Now if I were a multi million pound business I'd have contracts in place with bus operators just in case. Good money for the bus operators and keeps customers on side. But no. Scotrail full of...

Scotrail keep posting on Twitter that people should not use the trains at all unless the journey is "essential" or you are a key worker. All well and good, but how can they afford to run the trains almost empty? Even at the best of times they were in the crap money wise, so who is covering...

I've noticed I will get notifications for mew posts in a thread quite often, then they will just stop out of nowhere. If I go back and find the thread there will have been replies but I won't be notified of them. It seems the notifications just switch themselves off randomly nut not on all...
