What is your problem? I post a bit of news on the ScotRail thread then someone comes along and give a snotty reply.

There's no need to reply like that.... He was just pointing out that DRS have been operating them for a few weeks now. The whole sets look quite smart it must be said

I have no problem Tommy, just pointing out.

There's one rake of Mk2s that is still in DRS livery but I think, still refurbished to the same spec.
68006 and 68007 in SpotRail, plus a DRS-liveried spare (004 I think).

Caledonian Sleeper liveried 73966 is heading N through Newcastle this afternoon booked through platform 2 at 1520 but is currently 1 hour 40 mins late

I'm not sure if this is the first time a Class 73 has been through Newcastle.

I bet that amount, whilst a hit, will be peanuts compared to what they get for running it.

It probably will to be honest.
In understand it will be reinvested too, so it wouldn't be beyond possible that Abellio benefit in some way.

The article has a link to a previous story that stated First paid back £576,000 in the year up to the their franchise ending.
Abellio have met half of that total in the first quarter!

It looks like there will be a bit of bother, following a compulsory purchase order placed on a viaduct on the new Borders Railway.

Good news for the Waverley to Queen Street route. Hopefully they'll have more cars than at present, because it doesn't half get busy at peak times.
