Person Hit By A Train At Haymarket

...right at the start of the Peak.

Edinburgh +Glasgow, Dunblane and Alloa terminating Linlithgow, Fife circle, Perth and Aberdeen terminating Inverkeithing. Airdrie and Milngavie terminating Bathgate.

Oddly Glasgow Central's going in, with EC and XC. Suburban perhaps ?

Nope - we ran through as normal - well actually quicker as normal as little else was running. Nothing to be seen in Haymarket itself so I can only guess that the incident was actually to the West of Haymarket junction.

Much to my surprise, the train was no busier than normal, I guess folks make alternative arrangements rather than risk it being jammed out.

Waverley was strange today - jammed full of darkened shut down trains. An army of staff on the main concourse so should be plenty of help for folks, though I understand that the lines have been re-opened and services should have recovered to normal by 10AM.

The NRE_Scotland twitter announcements were a bit of a disaster. Just after 7AM they announced the problem was cleared, only 10 minutes later to announce that it was anything but cleared.

it was west of Haymarket depot by the golf course. was the loco hauled working the empty stock to fife for the morning service . Glasgow Central and West coast services were unaffected.
