These trains are pretty bad. Today my 10 year old got onto the 1208 from Glasgow to Inverness. It didn't even make it out of the station before it failed. Was it an HST.
Then she was told to go to the two coach train, a 158 I presume, which was the replacement and in the station. Another example of totally inadequate stock.
That train was terminated at Perth and it was replacement buses for all stations north. At Inverness Station there were no HSTs and no one had the faintest idea or seem interested in when the bus might arrive. One guy in a Scotrail vest was pissed off that I even bothered him whilst he was parking on the pavement, where no one should park but is common practice for railway staff in Inverness.
When the bus arrived it was a surprise to the Scotrail staff who were too busy chatting.
Overall, a very poor service with woeful management, ancient and unreliable stock and a bad attitude from many Scotrail staff.
