Rail | Issue 864
HST REBORN
Scotrail is carrying passengers aboard its first refurbished ‘Inter7City’ High Speed Train, with the first ordinary passenger service leaving Aberdeen on time at 0907 on Monday October 15 and arriving at Edinburgh Waverley one
minute late at 1136. Full services using only refurbished trains might take
around a year to introduce, because of delays refurbishing the former Great Western Railway (GWR) Mk 3 trailers. The first service train followed a preview run from Aberdeen to Edinburgh Waverley on October 10, leaving at 1155. The preview was delayed 46 minutes between Cupar and Ladybank when an air leak on leading power car 43138 brought the train to a stop.
Once restarted, the train reached Waverley thirty minutes late to receive
further attention from fitters, with hissing air clearly audible. ScotRail
cancelled the train’s return 1527 Edinburgh-Aberdeen journey.
