Aberdeen to Edinburgh is a busy route and so is Edinburgh to Newcastle the East Coast trains pick up quite alot of passengers going to Newcastle from Aberdeen. So why not have an hourly train going to Newcastle it could be seperate service or it could be an extension of the hourly Aberdeen to...

Lets face no TOC I think will be able to live up to the quality set now unless someone new comes on the market which is sad. Maybe it should remain in public hands. I see the new operator scrapping the first class free meals and buffet service. It seems like long way off but it will go quick.

I was wondering is there a way of buying advance tickets at the station for East Coast if so how ? My local ticket office is managed by Scotrail.

Well from the looks of it First are most likely going to hold on to the Scotrail franchise, but do you think there might be a possibility that they could lose the franchise in 2014 ?

Does anyone have a list on what is provided at the weekends in First Class on each TOC ?

Since they have now lost the WCML do you think they will "pull out" like they said they would or do you think they will bid for the ECML and realise the reasons why they had failed getting it was because they had the WCML. Since First are unlikely to get it and National Express out of the...

I am going to be travelling to Nottingham next January from Aberdeen, I know there is no direct train so I was wondering which route would be the cheapest on average where should I change etc ? I have tried to ask this in the best way I could.

I have been given the option of Scotrail First Class or East Coast First Class which one should I pick ? The journey will be 1 hour 15 minutes. The ticket is any permitted.

I have never been on one and I have noticed that on this forum most people dislike voyagers, what is so bad about them and what should I expect ? I will be going from Glasgow to Newcastle on one.

I was looking at my seats that I have booked train plans and if the train is a HST me and my companion will not be sitting together but if it was a voyager we would be. How do I find out what type of train it would be ? It's a crosscountry service.

I have booked tickets with them from Glasgow to Newcastle and I have been offered to upgrade the tickets to first class for not much extra, as it is a long trip would it be worthwhile upgrading also what perks do you get ?

I am planning to visit Newcastle in July and return 2 days later. I was just wondering which would be cheaper going direct or changing at Edinburgh ? I am planning to travel on the first or second week of July. I do not mind departing in the morning but the return journey must be after 12pm.

Would East Coast go through St Andrews and miss out Leuchars or would it continue to go through Leuchars ?

I am going to Inverness soon and I was just wondering what is there to do ?

What TOC's still use buffet cars because they seem to be getting removed, I like buffet cars because they provide more choice than the trolley and are quite nice to go to, Do you think these could go the same way as the restaurant cart ? :(

With Inverness getting bigger and expanding do you think there would be a demand for a second train from London Kings Cross to Inverness ? With HST's becoming spare perhaps some could be used on the service.

I was just wondering has anyone done this because I am thinking about doing it, the thing I am afraid of is missing a train and getting stuck up there. So I was just wondering what is it like ?

I have not been to this station in a while and I was wondering what is it like ? What companies serve the station etc I normally go to Haymarket.

Ive seen this idea been going about the forums. I think the service would be brilliant not because it goes to leeds but because it would be run by East Coast and Scotrail are rubbish. Do you think there would be a demand past Edinburgh ? also do you think this could work ? My thoughts would...
