I'd never been to Edinburgh for transport before, prior to yesterday, so it was something I was looking forward to. As I'd decided to skip the Open Day last year, I opted to attend this year, as the weekend happens to fall on my birthday (it's on the upcoming Tuesday if anybody is interested), and I'm started to expand my horizons and visit new places now. After booking my train tickets and deciding which bus ticket I was going to require, I did a bit of research into the Lothian network and the latest additions to their fleet so I could map out some ideas.

Some of you may have noticed my absence on the forum recently. To be brutally honest, I'm finding this forum harder and harder to enjoy with the number of sackless idiots, opinionated clowns and unconstructive buffoons that lurk on here. From now on, I intend to keep my activity as limited as possible on the forum, as I no longer find it an enjoyable place to be. I imagine those of you who seem intent on ruining it for others, no matter how innocent you feel your actions are, know who you are. It's becoming an incredibly tedious place to be and sadly, I no longer find it very enjoyable. In a nutshell; the forum has become a children's playground. It drags the hobby down for me too, knowing how many clowns do the same as myself, albeit in a less educated manner. It spoils it for others quite frankly. I still intend to go out on my outings, but if I become a regular poster on the forum again is a matter of time or if anything changes. My only posts from now on will likely be my reviews, and that will be it. Better to have my views/thoughts on it out there than clogged up. Sad that it has come to this, but it's just the way I feel now. Anyway, thanks for reading the review.

That was a brilliant review Marcus, shame about the Open Day. I had to laugh at the comment about the Citylink guard/attendant!

I hope this doesn't sound picky, but the 82s are Mark 4 Driving Van Trailers, which are basically coaching stock, not a class. You get quite some stick from people when the Class 82 is mentioned.   

I've got to agree with you on the forum part, I find myself repeating detailed information and some don't want to hear it. I do wish that it never got to the part of very little activity, and I feel partly responsible for that.

Again, that was a great review. I know its very stressful typing reviews of this type and its harder when you don't know if people are going to like it.
