(I do keep an eye out for such things.) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20916#post-359738 Wed, 13 Apr 2022 18:52:29 +0000 gembo 359738@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The great writer Penelope Fitzgerald has a novel The Beginningof Spring set in Moscow 1912, everyone should read this great Russian novel written by a little old English lady. Sections in the Moscow train station are outstanding. Also contains Dundee Keks and a bear getting drunk.</p> <p>Hugo Cabret is great graphic novel set in Paris station. Was made into movie by Scorsese? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20916#post-359734 Wed, 13 Apr 2022 18:39:17 +0000 chdot 359734@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><img src="https://www.thewestmorlandgazette.co.uk/resources/images/3940169.jpg?type=responsive-gallery-fullscreen"></p> <p><a href="https://refreshmentroom.com" rel="nofollow">https://refreshmentroom.com</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20916#post-359733 Wed, 13 Apr 2022 18:28:23 +0000 steveo 359733@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Did enjoy visiting the haymarket office, I could sit and watch the trains rather than talk to people. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20916#post-359731 Wed, 13 Apr 2022 18:16:58 +0000 gembo 359731@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@steveo, go on holiday to the train station? My pal Joe a lover of train spotting and beer thought he had died and gone to Heaven when he discovered a bar on the platform of Porthmadog Railway Station when he was on holiday with us many moons ago. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20916#post-359729 Wed, 13 Apr 2022 18:05:48 +0000 steveo 359729@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yeah great news, but I can't base a holiday on hanging around train stations hoping to get on the train. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20916#post-359728 Wed, 13 Apr 2022 17:42:44 +0000 chdot 359728@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Obviously great news, now key is for it be clear which trains both from the outside and also on SR website/app plus RealTimeTrains etc. </p> <p>(And better booking - mentioned on other thread.) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20916#post-359727 Wed, 13 Apr 2022 17:33:43 +0000 chdot 359727@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>“</p> <p>It said all its trains would have spaces for up to 20 cycles as well as bulky sports gear in a dedicated carriage.</p> <p>“</p> <p>Well, “up to 20” - fine but essentially meaningless. BUT VERY WELCOME!</p> <p>“as well as bulky sports gear in a dedicated carriage” great, but how many and where?</p> <p>EDIT that just the Explorer which has already started(?) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20916#post-359726 Wed, 13 Apr 2022 17:31:05 +0000 Morningsider 359726@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The article is wrong. The "dedicated carriage" will only be available on the West Highland line. There will be a few more spaces made available on other services. </p> <p>See: <a href="https://www.scotrail.co.uk/about-scotrail/news/bike-bonanza-scotrail-customers" rel="nofollow">https://www.scotrail.co.uk/about-scotrail/news/bike-bonanza-scotrail-customers</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20916#post-359725 Wed, 13 Apr 2022 17:30:27 +0000 CycleAlex 359725@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>That must be incorrect? I assume they’re actually referring to the new cycle carriages in the highlands? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20916#post-359724 Wed, 13 Apr 2022 17:04:56 +0000 Baldcyclist 359724@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-61097726" rel="nofollow">https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-61097726</a></p> <p>"It said all its trains would have spaces for up to 20 cycles as well as bulky sports gear in a dedicated carriage." </p>
