MSP Claims Train Times Off Track
« on: September 09, 2006, 02:44:10 PM »

Moray Scottish National Party MSP Richard Lochhead has called for a change to the First ScotRail timetable (link below.)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/north_east/5327014.stm

The 1042 BST Glasgow to Aberdeen train arrives at 1313 BST but the Inverness connection leaves Aberdeen at 1312 BST.

A First ScotRail spokeswoman told BBC Scotland: "We work closely with Network Rail and industry partners to provide a suitable timetable that meets the requirements of our customers."

"First ScotRail operates regular daily services from the central belt to Aberdeen and Inverness with good onward connection times, providing a number of travel options."

"We would be happy to look at this in our ongoing discussions."

"There are some restrictions as to what can be achieved due to the single line track sections between Aberdeen and Inverness, as well as from Inverness to the north and west, which need to be taken into consideration."

Sound familiar?
