It should have been 'Glasgow Central via Edinburgh', but if it suffered from the same problem as the Bath Spa train it would bave been 'Glasgow Central via Leeds' - equally improbable.NMcBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05494964262745285249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432323264902617108.post-44321261220190431112012-05-24T06:43:49.984+01:002012-05-24T06:43:49.984+01:00I did wonder .... but it kept doing it!

Some quick research in the National Rail Timetable reveals that the trains involved are the 0609 Bath Spa to Glasgow, 1131 Gateshead Metrocentre to Newcastle and the 0900 Glasgow Central to Penzance via Edinburgh. <br /><br />It would be quite feasible that a split second after you took the photo, the display refreshed, the top two trains disappeared off the board, the display scrolled up two lines and the words ‘via Edinburgh’ appeared where ‘Bath Spa’ had been, but associated with the Glasgow – Penzance train. Unlikely perhaps – but a possible explanation for what you observed.NMcBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05494964262745285249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432323264902617108.post-81360110546589922082012-05-23T18:08:37.082+01:002012-05-23T18:08:37.082+01:00I understood that SELNEC stood for 'seldom ear...I understood that SELNEC stood for 'seldom early, likely never even come'!RC169https://www.blogger.com/profile/03921368833118123055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432323264902617108.post-84716368083185101582012-05-23T16:03:15.056+01:002012-05-23T16:03:15.056+01:00But, anonymous, the board showed a departure from ...But, anonymous, the board showed a <b>departure</b> from N'castle at 1134 <b>TO</b> Bath Spa <b>VIA</b> Edinburgh.fatbusblokehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06833340546527596517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432323264902617108.post-75087568599073911672012-05-23T08:15:50.650+01:002012-05-23T08:15:50.650+01:00For information the cross country 11.34am service ...For information the cross country 11.34am service at Newcastle starts from Bath Spa at 06.09am.
