    Class 314 Withdrawals

    More fool them but supprised that the museum of transport hasn't even taken a cab section of the 314 or even 303 though. Just a shame these are going to be scrapped.

    ScotRail HST Introduction - Updates & Discussion

    I recently traveld on a refurb and a classic. And I can safely say the classic is comfiest to travel on. I felt the refurb seats were hard and the interior is a bit dirty looking. Marks are beginning to stain the carpet. Although they are quick and faster than the 170 but for comfort the 170 is...

    Edinburgh Tram developments

    It's not the trams it's the airport forcing the higher price as they are not subsidised to go in to the airport. It's nothing about the trams buying land it's about the airport charges for transport that is not subsidised.

    Edinburgh Tram developments

    As I said the trams or Lothian buses are not subsidised to go into the airport that's why the prices are dearer I'd folk don't like how it's done is they should complain to the airport. And for folk who complain about the price from p&r to airport or vice versa it's the same price regardless...

    Scotrail Class 385 Discussion

    Has the 385 started 8 car running to Queen Street Edinburgh route. I recently on a 385 from Edinburgh to Glasgow via Shotts my view I felt that the route was not suited for the 385. I don't know if the 380 be more suited for that route though. And free up the 385 for the via Carstairs.

    No they have to pay the same as normal Joe bloggs. As said the airport charges the trams and all bus a to use the airport as it's a premium zone. To me 6 pound is worth it in a rush hour when you go from Haymarket to airport to catch a flight as it is quicker and faster by tram than on a bus...

    Edinburgh Tram developments

    So the 6 pound is the airport zone. Edinburgh trams and all bus company get charged to go into the airport that is why it's dear as it's going into a premium zone. Lothian airlink is only 50p cheaper at 5.50 single so for those who say get the 100 it's no that cheaper. It's true it's 2.50 from...

    Scotrail Class 385 Discussion

    I've never been on a edi to gla via Cumbernauld before so I don't know about the movements via springburn. Does the HL trains go through and would it not make scence to terminate the edi trains at Cumbernauld and have the passenger connect to the low level for Glasgow when the works are taken place
