I will be landing on the ferry from Belfast in Stranraeer Scotland, and next would need to take the train north to Ayr.

Joe King asked:


After all it still had to be paid for out of my council tax. I should get vouchers for free travel outside my pass zone as compensation, after all my trip was still delayed by points falier, wrong sort of leaf on line etc.

ivebeen196mph asked:


Does anyone know who owns and operates the Royal Scotsman train that runs from edinburgh Waverly. Im sure it is either GSWR, West Coast railways or Orient express.
I would like a job onboard does anyone know any details about the train or company, i would like to be the maintenance engineer or loco fitter.
I have seen the web site but thats not much help, does anyone know any contacts with the company?
Thanks in advance.
Thunderstruck, who was your contact if you dont mind me asking? Do you have details of how to contact someone like him ie email address?
