Scotrail
The storms have caused additional issues to the south west of Scotland.
The section between Girvan and Stranraer is closed, due to an issue with Laggansarroch Viaduct.
The following link is interesting.

In it, they talk about the diversion of the river underneath the bridge.
I wonder what sort of impact it has had?
There is a bus replacement service - which taking into account the roads up there, will be a nightmare.
Anyone off to Glasgow soon?

Looks like Westminster aren't happy with the Scottish 140mph train plans.

The whole network could come to a halt, should there be an issue during the 20 week period.

Lots of discussion about the future of the Borders Railway.

(21 Mar 2016, 11:15 pm)northern156 Yeah I did it a good few months back now. Was alright; good to see communities served easily with Edinburgh but I wouldn't go out of my way to go on it again. Found it rather boring. The idea of building it mostly single track is also somewhat daft this day in age. Understandably for some sections where there is no clearance for it, but to have the majority of the route singled isn't right. It takes one train to be late to knacker the rest of the services up.

Summer of problems on Borders Railway
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-sc...s-37572746
Bit of a debate earlier on in Holyrood. Abellio are reputed to be making £1m profit each month,yet a third of all routes in Scotland have services which are late more often than they are on time.
