    Caledonian Sleeper

    What happened to the passengers on the train, did it leave Fort William or just delayed and cancelled?

    Caledonian Sleeper

    I can get you're point about the service break, but this bus departed at 23:45 from Glasgow and didn't arrive till 11:30 the next morning hence why a morning service break would have been nice to stretch the legs. I know there is a earlier faster service though (it was just because of timing...

    Scotrail Class 385 Discussion

    This is a bit off topic but does anyone know if their is any big timetable changes coming in May? ScotRail need to sort out the timetable on the Edinburgh-Milngavie/Helensburgh routes, as an regular user they are late way too often and usually because of too short of a turnaround at Helensburgh...

    The X18 timetable really needs changed. Throughout the morning peak services don't run on timetable and it isn't Lothians fault as it's usually traffic to blame but as I used the X18 from Edinburgh to Bathgate it just means the 07:47 service runs regularly 15 minutes late. There has been a few...

    Caledonian Sleeper

    I see the twitter page says the lights are dimmed, is that true? As most of you say they are still bright? is that them dimmed or do they not bother?

    Caledonian Sleeper

    Thanks for everyone on the opinion of overnight sleeper on seated seats. I did the Megabus M11 last year and it was not fun... No service breaks and the air con was on all night blowing freezing air. I thought the train would be better as least you would have a decent toilet to use and it's a...

    Caledonian Sleeper

    Random question but how is the seated coach for travelling in? Thinking about doing it between Edinburgh and London, anyone know the best seats to sit in for a good window view? They do have a seating plan but does not tell you if window view or not. Looking for 2 seats together. Thanks :)

    That's 3 days in a row I've now seen driver training with the Green Arrow coaches between Armadale and Bathgate via Armadale East Main Street. Do you think it's for the X18 just using available fleet or maybe for a new route that's not yet announced?

    Maybe already been mentioned but where are the extra coaches going?

    And when the 29 goes off surely that will increase passenger numbers on the X18 with a less service to Broxburn from First? Although it did only run hourly so might not much of a increase

    Lothian Country looks like it's at least a bit better now? When I see the X18 pass it doesn't ever look extremely busy (full) but it always seem to have a decent number of people onboard and from the comments on here people seem to agree it's the most popular route so far?

    West Lothian buses

    So what is going to happen with Green Arrow? If I'm honest it's came across as a bit of a fail, the marketing side hasn't been great (what ever happened to the instgram and Twitter accounts?) and now only the EX2 will continue? If they want to keep the brand going surely they will need to add...

    You'd think this will lead to complaints for the people who work and go to college in Falkirk from West Lothian

    West Lothian buses

    Surely another bus company will take over the 29? - it's the main link between Bathgate and Armadale to Avonbridge and Falkirk - Students attend from West Lothian to Forth Valley College (there's even a direct college bus in the morning) - This means Westfield has no bus service now?

    So is the X18 now fully running with the Ex-Airlink double deckers? See them all the time on the X18 so have they moved them around and took them off the X27/28?

    West Lothian buses

    Is their any possibility Lothian could buy First West Lothian? I don't really know how bus operations work but obviously First are selling their bus networks in the UK and it would be the best option if Lothian truly want West Lothian?

    I've always thought M&D's needs a better bus service. It's a big reason a lot of people don't go their because it's in the middle of no where. Although the chances of Lothian Country providing a service is slim and would probably be more of a job for Lothian Motorcoaches. Great suggestion though

    West Lothian buses

    Do you think a X14 type of service would work? Maybe Edinburgh-Glasgow via M8, Boghall, Blackburn, Whitburn then either via M8 again or Harthill to Glasgow? Would be a huge risk but conserdering Lothian have nice looking coaches maybe it'd make more sense having them on a longer route between...

    That's a good suggestion with Blackburn, would make more sense than Armadale with Blackburn having no direct rail link!

    Maybe Lothian should start to try routes that have never been done before, any suggestions? I've noted one of mine below but it would be really interesting what everyone's thoughts on new routes could be. EX3: The idea would be a Livingston Centre express coming from Whitburn via Armadale...
