Eighteen months ago I tried the first class products of five rail operators who entered and crossed Scotland - Scotrail, Avanti West Coast, LNER, Cross Country and Trans Pennine. I gave the experiences a score out of 100. Eighteen months later I replicate the same routes and operators, and was urprised at some of the changes in service. #scotrail #avantiwestcoast #lner #crosscountry #transpennineexpress
