The Royal Scotsman was at Edinburgh today hauled by a 47 and sods law meant i couldnt get a shot of it as it was arriving as i was getting ready to depart

I travel by train a lot, both in Scotland and up and down to Manchester and always find the train staff helpful. Never can understand why the public feel the need to blame them for a late train or one that breaks down. Easy reply....its always our fault....but i love that show and the railway....th...

Yes, I see a 92 there most days. Makes sense that its for the sleeper, though I thought they had the 92s in Caledonian livery for those trains? As an aside the signage for platform 7, must be the worst in Waverly Station and its also one of the worst to get to, distance wise, if you have any disabi...

Is that in the Motorail siding beside platform 7, if so its one of the sleeper trains, the platform is the motor rail (5/6) which are being re-instated for the waverley line

Did the article mention that the event was sold out before the bookings website officially opened?

Seemingly they were taking bookings at 8.30am when the site opened/crashed at 9am.....wonder how many on it are NR relatives?

RIP Mori, and condolences to his family

Only things i would say need to be altered is the trains every 15mins should be specified as being from Falkirk High as from Grhamston its hourly (and no service on a sun), also trains to Gleneagles, youd have to change at Stirling In this day and age.....better safe than sorry, that way she doesnt ...

When is this happening and for how long ? No official date yet, onc...
