Scotrail

 Inverness to Edinburgh  

Staff at Inverness station rarely allow passengers onto the platform more than 10 minutes before the train is due to depart.

This morning I joined the queue at the ticket barrier as soon as it was announced but didn't get through the barrier until 3 minutes before departure. My reserved seat was in the 5th coach from the barrier so a 3 minute walk then a scramble to board only to find someone in my seat. She left graciously.

The Caledonian Sleeper from London was running 2 and a half hours late, I wonder why.

At one point this train was 16 minutes late but it pulled into Edinburgh 1 minute early. Top speed was 92mph and the first-class issues scored 37.5% bringing Scotrail's total to 44%.

CrossCountry

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