"Express", you say?

 

It'll have to be rocket powered.

If anyone feels like complaining, strictly speaking this is a Network Rail issue. Scotrail own the rolling stock and do the timetabling.  Network Rail own the infrastructure, rails and signalling. Nothing Scotrail can do about it really. It's a bit like blaming National Express buses if someone shuts the motorway. 

 

Sorry, appreciate that doesn't help much but complaints may as well go to the right place.

Wonder if they might postpone the kickoff like they did last week at, was it Dundee?

You put your refund request to Scotrail 'Delay Repay' though. Any train delayed by 15 minutes.

Complaints need to go to scotrail tbh as they will be the ones reimbursing tickets. NWR will then pay them for delays caused.

Is that why one end of the stadium behind the goals is empty

 

 

No, that stand was never on sale to us.

Put that train on to be fair.

 

Just missed 10 minutes and in for the first goal. Nostalgia for the football specials.

I rely on trains for games and they are a lottery sometimes. Never rely on the last one back that’s for sure. Hope everyone got to and back safely from the game today

The Express did run, to be fair. 80 mph non-stop from haymarket to Airdrie - taxi to the ground and in around the third minute. Kudos to the driver!!! But only about 50 supporters on it, due to lack of info…

It was predictable but strangely the trains were running fine till it was time for the football fans.

I just see trains cancelled constantly on that line. Dundee to Aberdeen is a mare just now too.

For anyone wondering....would seem there was a points failure. Basically means an issue with the track. Points are generally found at a junction which allows the track to change direction. Frustrating as this is for anyone affected, the track is maintained by network rail not scotrail. Hope all who planned to get a train to the match still made it and enjoyed some good goals and a great result.

That man is too busy cosying up to the Hamas sympathising Turkish president to worry about the state of the country he's been unelected to run. The same turkish president who promised to rebuild the homes of his citizens devastated by last years earthquake. There's over 600k of them still living in shipping containers and tents a year on from the disaster. Bit of a tangent there on my part admittedly and off topic 🤣🤣
