Railsoc Inverness: Important information
Hello! Thank
you for joining us on our trip to Inverness (and making sure I get my money
back)! With just over a week to go, here is some important information and FAQs
we thought you should know about:
· What
is the schedule?
We
will meet in Waverley at 0800, at our usual meeting point at the pole between
Costa and Pret-A-Manger on the main concourse in front of the waiting hall. If
you’re still unsure where that is, we’ll post a story on our Instagram on the
day or you can contact us through our social media/ phone numbers (at the end).
The
train leaves Edinburgh around 0830 before getting into Inverness just after 1200.
We
have around 5 hours in Inverness, and for the return journey we will meet at
Inverness station just before 1700. We will board the train to Glasgow
departing around 1720 before getting off the train at Perth at around 1940. We will have around 40mins
transfer time at Perth before boarding the train to Edinburgh just before 2020 and arriving back just before 2200.
·
Where is my train ticket?
I
have it! Scotrail has given me one (!) ticket for all 25 of us so it is
currently well taken care of in my flat (it is currently the most valuable thing
in there). We have 25 seat reservations too which our ticket is only valid for (Edinburgh
to Inverness and back to Perth on the way back) so make sure to sit in one of
those seats. For the train from Perth to Edinburgh, there are no seat
reservations so make sure you let one of us (committee) know where you sit on
that train.
· What
are we doing in Inverness?
It’s
up to you! We have no set plans for what to do while in Inverness, so do what you
want (within reason!). 5 Hours isn’t long enough to go too far from Inverness
unfortunately, but there’s plenty to do within the city. You are more than
welcome to tag along with any of the committee members and come along with what
any of us are doing. Just make sure you’re back at the station by 1700 :)
·
What if I cannot make the trip anymore?
Please
let us know as soon as possible! You can let us know through our Instagram/Discord,
email, or phone (details at the end). We will sort you a refund and allocate your
ticket to the waitlist.
·
Can I leave early?
Unfortunately,
not on your ticket. The type of ticket that we have only allows us to take a
specific train. Scotrail giving me one ticket for all of us means that you will
also have to travel with us. You can leave early if you arrange your own
transport back from Inverness to Edinburgh. If this means that you no longer want
to come along, please let us know immediately.
· What
if I have a question not on here?
