Guide to opening doors...
SCOTRAIL has produced a video on how to board and get off trains – because it is reintroducing carriages with manually operated doors.
It follows delays in refurbishing 40-year-old InterCity carriages. In case passengers have forgotten, the twominute guide demonstrates how alighting travellers must lean out of the window and pull down the door handle rather than pushing a button. ScotRail stopped using ‘slam door’ carriages in 2002, other than on a handful of services.
A spokesman said: ‘Some features on the Classic InterCity are different from what our customers are used to.
‘The video we produced helps them to get familiar with the train.’
