Scotrail

 Aberdeen to Inverness

This was a return journey from Inverness but the outward train was changed from a DMU170 which has first-class seating to a DMU158 which doesn't, so I'll ignore that hot, noisy, crowded train.

Returning was a pleasure. Aberdeen now has a First Class Lounge which I used briefly for biscuits, a drink and a comfort break. This was one of those journeys where there are more railway staff in first class than customers.

The main negative aspect was that I was unable to connect to wi-fi. The only one seen to be available was labelled as GWR-WiFi to which connection always failed. I seem to recollect that Scotrail and GWR were both part of the First group before nationalisation.

My score for Scotrail is 50%, same as GWR, is that just a coincidence?

I walked through the market to the hotel just to see if my favourite fish shop, of 60 years, is still there. It is and hasn't changed a bit!

CrossCountry

Birmingham to Bristol return  The outward journey was smooth but the major problem with CrossCountry is that their windows block GPS signals...
