August 24th - ScotRail is telling passengers to not take one of its trains

Today’s podcast is all about the remarkable move by Scotrail to persuade people not to travel on one of its key inter-city trains, the 10.51am from Inverness to Edinburgh. Is it a sign of the shaky shape of railways in the UK – or a smart plan to nudge people to take less busy and cheaper trains?Of course this podcast is completely free, as is my weekly travel email.
