Standing room only on trains to Oban

-

The following trains were badly overcrowde­d recently with standing room only.

The 12.20pm Glasgow Queen Street to Oban on Sunday April 29 and the 12.11pm Oban to Glasgow Queen Street, also on Sunday April 29.

When I spoke to a local employee of Abellio ScotRail, she said the overcrowdi­ng was due to the sunshine.

It should be noted that if you miss the 12.20pm from Glasgow, the next train is 6.21pm, which is a wait of six hours.

The 12.11 from Oban is the first train on a Sunday. The first bus to Glasgow on a Sunday leaves at 12.10pm, which is one minute earlier than the train. David Gallant, Oban.
