Why does fTPE have three car sets if it wants to run six car trains to Edinburgh? It wouldn't be a problem if I could walk the entire length of the train but there is no door between carriages three and four.
I usually get the 8.15 (ish) three car service to Edinburgh from Lockerbie, so at 9.55 am when I went to get the later service I assumed it was again a three car train.
There was no announcement at the station which was particularity disappointing seeing that I chased the train up the platform to sit in section A.
Thirty minutes later I still hadn't bee served some refreshments and I noticed that the trolley was missing from where it usually rests.
It was only when I reached Edinburgh, and the driver stopped almost outside the eastern end of the station, that I found out that it was a six car train and the catering trolley was in the other half of the train.
So, here is a simple little request: Either buy new trains, have two trolleys or at least tell people when they board the train!
I'm honestly starting to believe that First Class is not worth the trouble on these services to Lockerbie. On the early train it is too busy and on the 9.55 train i seems one only have a 50% chance of service. Bring back the Virgin services to Lockerbie.
