End for HSTs edges closer as ScotRail seeks new trains

On July 28, because of industrial action, the 1552 Edinburgh-Inverness was worked by an Edinburgh crew that did not sign the route from Dunblane to Perth, so ran via Ladybank. 43137 leads 43037 past Woodmill Mains (near Lindores Loch) on the single-track line. PIP DUNN.

The Scottish government has announced that the procurement process is under way for new rolling stock to replace its InterCity 125 High Speed Trains.

ScotRail uses the HSTs on its Inter7City routes from Edinburgh/Glasgow Queen Street to Aberdeen and Inverness via Perth, and on the Aberdeen to Inverness route via Elgin.
