Does anyone know if the Glasgow to Edinburgh via Carstairs will return in full? Can only see 2 or 3 services on this route as opposed to what was the roughly 2 hour frequency pre covid. Thanks in advance!
Not at this stage. The information has been uploaded, and as you say there are only a couple of through trainsDoes anyone know if the Glasgow to Edinburgh via Carstairs will return in full? Can only see 2 or 3 services on this route as opposed to what was the roughly 2 hour frequency pre covid. Thanks in advance!
One of the disappointing aspects of the Glasgow System the circle services. Though Im not sure how much demand from say Mt Florida to Shawlands or Pollokshaws East.Also disappointed that there's no Cathcart Circle services aside from a few morning and evening peaks
The timetable pdfs are on the Scotrail website now.When I do a search on National Rail Enquiries it says timetables for Scotrail from the 16th May are yet to be finalised. Perhaps some services may be added at the last minute?
Its disappointing that train times for less than a week away may be wrong. Yes these are unprecedented times but people do need to make plans
Any way of knowing what’s an HST in advance?The timetable pdfs are on the Scotrail website now.
I have also noticed that there is an additional 1645 Aberdeen to Dundee service (calling at Portlethen, Stonehaven, Laurencekirk, Montrose, Arbroath, Carnoustie, Broughty Ferry and Dundee), which is booked as a HST run. This train then returns to Aberdeen as ECS, arriving at 2034.Is disappointing to see that the Glasgow/Edinburgh to Aberdeen services remain two hourly, and thanks to poor co-ordination, give a 30/90 interval north of Dundee. A consequence of this is that there are now waits of over an hour for certain connections from Glasgow to Inverness at Perth! (Leave Glasgow at 12:39, arrive Perth 13:41 to connect with 14:50 departure)
You also have to wonder why virtually every northbound train on the Inverness route stops at Blair Atholl, but only four do so southbound at 07:12, 14:21, 20:24 and 22:00 - surely something could have been done to improve on this.
