Dumfries diversion to be extended
It turns out that the diversion of the VTWC services will have an impact on Scotrail services on the route.
Although VTWC are only calling at Kilmarnock, a number of Scotrail trains which would normally use the route and call at all stations, are being replaced by road transport.
I assume this diversion will last longer than the Tyne Valley line closure and there will be some impact on Scotrail services to Newcastle.
